Ok to do the thing that doesn't actually exhist, penetrate heat base to the core of your piece and work it outwards(think of it kind of like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube only work it out in all directions). You will be able to bench cool things that before you weren't. It is NOT a real anneal and doesn't work if you have foreign objects like Mandrels in the glass. Also doesn't work if unless you make perfect welds or if your piece is very thick.
Handy trick for doing traveling demos without a kiln or if you want to save on electric and batch anneal.
