Dos Equis Anyone?
Strange question but what is the annealing temp and time for beads made from a Dos Equis beer bottle? Very cool and very clear little brown beads but is it like boro? It seemed a lot softer than boro. FYI rinse the bottle out first! My studio reeks of beer, lol.

Great idea but then forget annealing the beads, a couple more and just forget the beads altogether, lol.

Use the same annealing schedule for 90COE glass. I've used the same
one for 104COE too in the past with no problems. The Glass is probably
around 96-98COE (if memory serves). Beer bottle glass is softer than
boro, but stiffer than 104COE - it's really like bullseye glass.
