    When the case area being heated starts to develop the blue tint, it’s around the correct temp.
    Any more and you are overheating it.
    You can get technical and apply templaq which turns colour, but I can’t be fussed.
    I do what Frogfeatures does, hold by hand in a camp cooker flame.
    Dropping in water isn’t really needed, air cooling is fine.
    The net has instructions on how to make an automated annealing set.
    Sideshow, Cordite and rewa like this.
