@Brommers @mespilus thanks both for your advice, I will do the sensible thing and step away from the nasty gloopy stuff, talk of infra red heat guns sounds interesting though, if only because my only other realistic option now seems to be paying a fair wedge to have them dipped running the risk the beads all warp and then painting/not painting the opposite side again? Have you used a heat gun of the infrared variety?

I haven't, no. While I'm happy stripping paint off bike frames, I leave decorating to the professionals. Happily a good friend is a painter and decorator, so I leave that sort of thing to him.

Fair enough, 20yrs since I last used a conventional heat gun and probably scorched the bejesus out of the skirting boards of my first flat, vowed then ‘never again’. Kind of hoped the infrared type might have progressed a bit, further investigation required.
