We used to make sailing ships with glass strands and yes they had to be annealed after every few bits of the rigging was welded on else they cracked. I can't remember the temperature, it was not very high. Left cooking overnight.
Re-working CRTs was simpler, the neck extension and gun button was annealed on the lathe after welding, we never annealed cones and faceplates. The bake out during pumping was very hot, perhaps that helped with stress relieving as well. Have trouble remembering these details, I was 17 at the time and that was a long time ago.
