[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1584922, member: 10755"] I agree with the time/heat and as soon as the orange hue is seen, it’s outta the flame and into the tub to cool. I built my own mechanised system some time ago now, but prior to this I did it by a lazy Susan, then the battery drill deal. I anneal copper and brass for work, so I know what I’m looking for in the color flow through the brass. That orange hue is gas just starting to be released by the metal, the time it is doing that is critical to a ‘good’ anneal or an ‘over’ anneal situation. I find 6-8 seconds gives me a ‘good’ anneal 95% of the time with most brass brands. Some other brands, like Norma, anneal faster. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
