Roughly 520 kilograms of glass beads are used per mile during remarking of a five lane highway system, [4] and road remarking can occur every two to five years. [4] In the United States, the massive demand for glass beads has led to importing from countries using outdated manufacturing regulations and techniques.

Two principal techniques are used to produce seed beads: the wound method and the drawn method. The wound method is the more-traditional technique, is more time-consuming, and is no longer used in modern bead production: in this technique, a chunk of glass known in glassmaking as a gather and composed mainly of silica is heated on an iron bar until molten.
The mandrel can be used to dip a small amount of melted glass from the melted source and then rolled into a bead. An alternate method is to use two rods, one to dip the glass from the melt, and allow the trail to be wound around the other rod. The rods develop iron oxide from the fire, which gives them a natural release agent for the beads.

Lampworking-closeup Lampwork glass beads. Glass bead making has long traditions, with the oldest known beads dating over 3,000 years. [1] [2] Glass beads have been dated back to at least Roman times. Perhaps the earliest glass-like beads were Egyptian faience beads, a form of clay bead with a self-forming vitreous coating. Glass beads are ...
