Artsyuno, makes sense. I do that too. *shakes head* I'm not sure why I thought batch annealing would be different in this case.

Of course not. Im completely missing something here. Why would you ever consider annealing anything with cracks? If you can't find a methodology and work flow to bench cool your beads without cracks then batch annealing is just not gonna help you.. This is really a ridiculous reason to try to convince us that batch annealing somehow can't be effective for soft glass. I give up. Most who appear to have sound technical knowledge have long ago.
