They must have made bead tips different back in the day than they do now. I find those little loops that are supposed to fit inside the cup, pull out. I prefer the size of the little cups more than clam shells, but I finally acquiesced to the double loop clam shells for stuff I string on "no stretch" thread. Are you going to reknot those Mikis? If you do, inspect that bead tip! Is the loop soldered into the cup? I'm dying to know!
