28) Remove the beads and check them for cracks or breaks. Put the beads and mandrels on a rack in kiln and heat the kiln. Place a pyrometer into the kiln hole and turn it on. Monitor the kiln temperature until it reaches the correct temperature for glass annealing. Hold the temperature for 30 minutes and turn off the kiln. Let the kiln cool for approximately 12 hours. Remove the beads and mandrels from the kiln.

29) Remove the beads from the mandrels by using pliers to hold the mandrel and twist the beads off with your hand.

31) Apply etching cream to the fish beads and let them stand for a few minutes. Rinse the fish beads and dry them.
