Bead and Bail Drying Rack

No More Flat Spots. No More Guesswork.

When you’ve taken the time to create perfectly round beads or beautifully shaped pendant bails, the last thing you want is a flat spot from drying on a surface.

The Bead and Bail Drying Rack keeps your pieces suspended while they air dry, preserving their shape and saving you from unnecessary refinishing. Simple. Lightweight. Effective. And designed specifically for metal clay artists.

Beads and bails must dry evenly on all sides. Laying them flat compresses one area and creates distortion. This rack allows your pieces to hang freely so they dry exactly as formed.

• Prevents flat spots
• Maintains clean curves
• Works beautifully with drinking straws, cocktail straws, skewers, shrink tubes 
• Sets up in seconds

How It Works

Two Foam Support Bases are paired together using wooden support rods to create a freestanding drying rack. Beads made on straws or skewers rest directly across the rods.For bails made on 6mm shrink tubes, simply pass one of the included wooden extension rods through the shrink tube to extend its length so it rests comfortably on the rack. Because 6mm shrink tubes are slightly shorter than the rack width, extra rods are included so everything sits securely and evenly.

What’s Included

• 4 Foam Support Bases
  (Creates two complete drying racks)
• 6 Wooden Support Rods
  (Four for rack assembly, two extra for extending shrink tubes or straws)
• 8 – 6mm Shrink Tubes
  Perfectly sized for creating bails that coordinate with Pam’s ShapeRight™ bail templates.
