View Full Interactive Version Of This Page : Can Batch Annealing save these beads?

I'm afraid I tucked a few of my beads a little too late in the fiber blanket. I plan on annealing all the ones I made today by tomorrow night, and, while the kiln is hot I'll make some bigger ones to anneal on the spot.
That means that today's beads will be at annealing temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Would that be enough to make up for any stress they might have suffered?
I use Bullseye and dichroic glass, the beads in question are about 15mm long.

I would appreciate your help on this!

as long as the beads are not cracked you can just batch anneal them as you would do normally. No problem:)

Annealling will not fix cracks. I think most of us tried that one, didn't we? LOL

Thanks for the input, Kevan and suzanne, they're cooling right now, will know more tomorrow.
