How hot are you annealing your beads? And how long are you soaking them? I have had less cracking issues with Lauscha clear and 96 frit since I upped my anneal temperature to 980, and for 2 hours soak instead of just 1.
Also, don't count the "soak" time to include any garage time while you're still working (eg, if you did your bigger beads first, and they've already been in there an hour or more, they still may need 2 hours of soak without the door opening and closing and the resulting fluctuating temperature).
