To begin controlled cooling, allow the kiln to cool as fast as it can for the first 300Â° so the controlled portion of the firing is taking place about 300Â° lower than the cut-off temperature.
Start heating up the kiln in which you will anneal beads. Beads are annealed to relieve the internal stress created when glass is taken from a solid to a semi-solid. The constant temperature should be very near 960Â° Farenheight. A torch using an oxygen-propane mixture is used to melt the glass to form the beads.The torch I use is a Minor Bench Burner. While your kiln is heating it's a good time to pull stringers-spaghetti thin sticks of glass-and twisties and latticino-several colors of glass twisted together.ou are now ready to make a bead. Pick up a mandrel that has previously been coated with bead release (so the glass will not stick to them) in one hand. In the other hand a rod of glass. Slowly introduce the glass rod into the flame.
