[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1923762, member: 109994"] I tried some annealing with my drill and torch and I did almost 60 cases in half an hour. After smoking a couple to get the torch in the correct position and get the timing down, it was pretty easy. I tried using the tempilaq on the inside of the neck on the first couple of sacrificial cases, just because I had it on hand, and it wasn't helpful. The cap on my bottle was broken, unbeknownst to me, possibly from falling off a shelf. So the tempilaq was somewhat separated and gloopy. I tried shaking it to homogenize it but it didn't work out very well. On top of that, since my drill wanted to spin to quickly and there's carbon in my necks, I couldn't actually tell when the stuff liquified. So I just turned the lights off and tested a couple cases going until I could just barely see a color change in the dark and set my timer for that time. I tested a few by using a pair of pliers to gently squeeze the dead soft ones, the unannealed ones, and the good annealed ones for comparison in their hardness/springback. [/QUOTE]
