PSA: My $400 investment in a proper annealing oven finally stopped my pieces cracking overnight.

I was losing about one in three pieces to thermal stress until I bit the bullet and got the Paragon F-130 last month, and now I haven't had a single crack in two weeks of work.

Switched to slow cooling, fixed my cracking too.

Interesting. I've had the opposite happen. Fast cooling works better for my setup, less warping.
