Kikki,
I'm just a boro newbie here, so take this from where it comes
I have been making icicles to help me work on learning how to work the glass and heat control. It IS different from soft glass.
And added benefit is that I have a little bit of stock built up for a bead show that I'm doing in a couple of weeks. What I do is make the icicle and then put it into vermiculite to cool down. I batch anneal when I have enough. Seems to have worked so far, no breakage of the icicles.
