I was just wondering if it is possible to use The Water based Varathane on my polymer clay covered Crochet hooks. I am trying to find something that is not sticky and will not harm anyone when using them with their hands on a regular bases. Some of the products I have used, have peeled off and have still become sticky after a couple of days. If you could help me figure this out. That would be amazing.

Thank you again for all you do, and all your wonderful tutorials. They have really helped me out alot. You are a great inspiration. :)

Be sure to follow the directions, and start with a small drill bit. Then gradually increase the size until your bead hole is as big as you need. Have fun!

One of my big goals here at the blog is to have everyone in the community be able to pipe up when someone needs help. Reading and bookmarking these archived articles and comments is really helpful, so that you can point others to them if you feel the information would be helpful for them too.

The link by my name points to a conversation I had with another member (Carolyn-F), on how to add useful permalinks to your comments, when you are wanting to reference something.

Thanks again for another great idea.

My husband took pity on my long face and decided to help me. He got out his propane tank and torch and vise and inserted the drill bits in the vise (working side down) and applied the flame to the shaft until it glowed red and then bent the shaft with pliers. It worked!

He did all this work on the driveway,outside, far away from the house.

So now I have me drilling bits and I am happy. I thought you would like to know about yet another way to do things!
