I use "annealing" bubbles to cool my beads and then batch anneal when I have enough. Once I am done with the bead I turn off the oxy, turn up the propane and bathe it in the flame for about 30 seconds. Then into the bubbles. You get to know how long for each size bead. I make everything from small spacers, big hole beads, giant hollows and 30mm pressed beads. I have very little breakage. Just sharing because it isn't not the traditional way to do it, but it works for me.
