Flame annealing is conceptually like taking ice tray out of the freezer on a really hot day, and putting it in a cooler to try and cool it slower. It will still melt, and become an unstable liquid, its still water, but you dont want it jn your drink to cool it, it just wont work. Your glass can be taken to a state of "not broken yet" without the kiln, but they need to go in the kiln either garaged or batch annealed to be an effective and stable piece.


(And as I'm typing im realizing that this's for more spence in my head, and I'm really tired! Lol)
