Hi Elli! Thank you so much for your suggestion to put some gum paste on the wire before veining. I’ve tried something like this with no luck, but after watching the video you linked, I think I may have used too much paste on the end of the wire, which led to a very noticeable raised place where the wire was. I’ll let you know how it goes and thank you again for your help. If there is any other advice you have, I would really appreciate it!
