[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 304023, member: 1521"] The whole 'Annealing' thing is actually a big misnomer in our community. For one, annealed brass is completely ruined brass. What we're really striving to do is relieve stress in brass. And stress relieving is way lower in temperature than annealing. The reason 'annealing' is often tricky, is because a torch can quite easily do just that(around 1100deg, or glowing red in the dark). So keep it in mind while considering the methods described. Personally, the only way I've ever stress relieved brass is lead dipping. With this I can exactly control the temperature(600deg). But it's more time & setup than most would tolerate I'm sure..
