I am getting back into fusing glass. I have some small jewelry sized piesces that are double thick fully fused. I am now adding a decal to these pieces. These are low heat 24kt gold decals that say go to 1100. Do I have to anneal these? Just wondering if I can get by without it.

Thanks

I would, just to be on the safe side
You do not want a customer to have one brealk.
Why not? It doesn't take all that long.

Go a little higher, say 1200. no need to hold.
When cooling, just turn it off. you will be fine.
I refire 6mm pieces and crash to 900, then recover,crash a second time, and open the kiln at about 500 (top loading kiln, mulllite shelves...makes a difference.)

Always anneal.
