<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9822684, member: 76316&quot;]I have removed all the (nylon,double) strings an&#039; knots.</p><p>15 grams of salt fully dissolved in 100ml of room temp water floats all the beads nicely, save the 4 with off-center drilling. So, whether pressed or natural, these beads appear to be real amber. </p><p>I&#039;ll rinse thoroughly, dry well (overnight, to allow water in the drilling to evaporate) an&#039; weigh them en masse.</p><p>I watched an excellent YouTube video about double-stringing an&#039; knotting pearls...but I&#039;m just gonna use waxed flax six-cord, single strung. I won&#039;t attempt to reuse the closure, as these beads will be offered for sale on eBay to benefit the fellow who owns them; the buyer will have plenty opportunity to get more creative with &#039;em. Pics will be added here when the job is as complete as I can manage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
