Possibly because some glasses are more forgiving than others, and Serena's Blend is not very forgiving, is my only guess. Making clear the base reduced the proportion of Serena's blend in the whole bead and acted as a stabilizer. IME pinks and purples tend to be more persnickety than some other colors about being annealed in their preferred temp range, especially when it comes to being encased.
