I have another stupid question...

[Suestress]

How long can I wait before I anneal a bead? Is there some sort of time limit?

[Lara]

You are talking batch annealing, right? No time limit, as long as it doesn't crack then, what's the point of annealing. :)

Do it as soon as possible. Just think of them as little treasures that are ready to explode and you have no way of knowing when their timers are set to go off. :oops:

Lara and Eric,
Thanks for the feedback! I've been lampworking exactly 6 months today and I don't have a kiln yet. Hoping to get one soon :)

Just keep them in a safe place till you are ready to anneal them.

Susan,

If their little beads you can wait a long time if their in a "safe place" like Sassy says. But I was so relieved to finally get my annealer. It's all done in one step and you can move up to "larger" beads that won't go into a blanket. I love mine! Here's hopin the annealer fairy will come to your house*#!^% :)

Good luck,

Peggy
