Here is my annealing schedule. Total time to room temp usually 7 1/2 to 8 hours.
It goes from set point temp to 950 in 5 min and soaks there for 1 1/2 hours.
Then it goes from 950 to 700 over 3 hours and shuts off.
The time it takes to cool from 700 varies a small amount by the room temp, but generally takes about 4 hours

My semi opaque beads still go opaque or sometimes only parts of them go opaque. But it is a neat effect.
