Title: annealing temp for Bullseye beads?
Post by: silverleaf on February 08, 2010, 09:40:24 AM
Hi there

Could anyone tell me how best to anneal Bullseye 90coe beads? I can't see any info for rods on there website, but have seen elsewhere that they should be held at 516C - is that correct? And would a schedule similar to Effetre be ok in terms of the ramp speed? (I usually do 3.5 hrs to 520C, hold one hour, 2.5hrs to 420C then switch off).

Thanks for your help.

Helen

I just had to try those pinks! And so far so good - light fuschia is just to die for ;D

Thanks for the advice folks.
