[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1324643, member: 25383"] I doubt many, if anybody here except for Skip has ever been around liquid salt. Can be very dangerous, and totally unforgiving!! Yet it has the same reactions that lead does to certain foriegn particle. It will explode just like lead with water. Yet liquid salt is well known as the perfect heating medium for steel. Problem with a torch is control and over heating the brass. Use a welders temp stick for four hundred fifty degrees. By the time you shock the brass it will be five hundred degrees, and almost too hot. You must shock the brass in ice water to stop the annealing process. I use a plate with pins pressed into it. The pins are made to fit the neck I.D., with .004" clearance. Use a temp stick to get your timing right. With fifteen or twenty pins it goes very fast. I use nothing but an electric kitchen range. Just keep a pan of ice water close by. Gary [/QUOTE]
