As others have already explained earlier in the thread this is a hit or miss proposition depending on the glass and keys used and how it is done. You may get away with it and then again you may not. There may be ways to optimize the fit but the end result is that you have a stressy bead that may break later if it survives annealing. I would suggest that you always use bead release.
