If you want to do boro in the same cycle think about doing it at the beginning of the sat/kiln cycle. That way your kiln will ramp up to 1050, and stay at that temp while you do boro. When you are done with boro just ramp it down to 950 (or the temp you choose on the annealing range based on what you need - some silver glasses need to be cooler a little or they loose color). Then while it's ramping down clean off your boro, and take out your soft glass, and stretch and maybe grab a little snack, and your kiln will be ready for soft glass for the rest of the day. No second cycle needed.
