[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 228415, member: 4191"] I also find about 5 1/2 seconds is long enough in my propane torch to reach the proper temperature using the temperature sticks. Brownell's sell a liquid product that can be painted on the casing which is much more user friendly from what I've read, but I've never purchased or used that product. Five seconds is about the length of time that Ken Markle from K&M Services told me he had found to be about right in the annealing work he has done over the years. Of course it depends on how hot your propane touch is. My use of the crayon temperature sticks has confirmed that the liquid product from Brownell's would be a better way to go. Like you said, it's hard to get the crayon to stick to the brass. [/QUOTE]
