Seriously, ignoring specs is how you end up with expensive regrets. I once avoided a disaster by cross-checking compatibility, much like @henderson.mila's cautionary tale. That minute of research saved me hundreds.

Annealing is everything for clarity, no doubt about it. Tbh, I learned that the hard way after ruining a whole batch of pieces. Slowing the ramp down lets the glass relieve internal stress without clouding up. Many newcomers rush this step and end up with haze every time. Your fix is spot on, and it's why veteran advice is priceless. Stick with that slower speed, and you'll never go back.
