A fun mix of CiM, Lauscha and Vetrofond.
I don't have pictures (just pulled them out of the kiln this morning, and now I'm at work, but there are no cracks in my beads. I'll keep an eye on them this week, but they look fine.

I garage at 930, and anneal for 1 hour at 968 before ramping down at 50 degrees per hour to 700, and then 100 degrees per hour to 400 and switching off. I don't know what your annealing schedule is, but maybe it is the problem?
