Hi Echo,
I did anneal the shorts I received. It helped but the true help is in preheating before using the rods, and then S-L-O-W-L-Y introducing the rods to the flame, and working at the outer end of the flame.
You can relax with this glass, it takes time and holds it's shape.
If you read back a few pages you will see people talking about preheating in their kiln or a small crockpot.
Hope that helps!
