Little Black Dots on my Beads

And if you 'drown them in a saucer of distilled water' you will get mold. You need to take the beads dry, place them in the container, and use a spray bottle to get them to where 80% are clear, the rest white. There should be no excess water to shake out if you do it correctly.

It is not entirely understood, that for spray? We need to spray water on them by small droplets? Or, to makers beads, you can just put beads in a container with a capacity where they distilled water and absorbed all the moisture through the air?

Yes, you need to spray water on them by small droplets.

If you submerge them in water they will crack and break apart and will not last very long. If you want the beads to last any length of time you need to spray distilled water on them slowly using a small spray bottle like the one in the picture.

The fragile piece)
And if their makers propylene glycol?

And what made beads? They shell, inside which the active substance or an independent - this whole weight?
Are, from which they are made?
Suppose, if bead damaged - from it will derive something?

P.S.
Do I need to remove the beads from their tubes, which called them water?

Sorry for the thread hijack Kris

Sounds like mold to me. I can't think of anything else it could be.

I had this when I used beads, but I take the blame for not inspecting and managing them better. Airflow has got to be the key to long success stories. Now in my cabinet I use a Hydra plus a half full drymistat to keep it honest. In my desktop I use a single drymistat.
