With the few GooGoos I have done I used a pony bead from craft stores.
I made a jig to hold the bead so I could cut it in half using a bandsaw. Just two blocks of wood with a dent drilled into them for the bead to sit in. Then a small piece of poster board as a spacer the thickness of the saw blade to hold the jig open while cutting the bead. Took a couple of tries to get the dents to be the correct depth and even on both halves.
Then sanded the cut surface with really fine paper. Then I filled the hole with PC7 while it was sitting cut side down on wax paper. Tedious but gave a pretty good result.
