[QUOTE="Buckskinner, post: 1354373, member: 99929"] If you are using the torch method, you should be doing it in a dark room and watch for other elements being burned off with your test pieces when you overheat one. You will get a reddish flame coming off of the brass. You do not want to burn off these other metals, so you should heat until just before you see this happen. IMO, in the video he is over-annealing his brass. Difficult to get consistent when using fingers or drill because variables are always changing, such as time and distance from flame, etc... I made one that at least takes those two variables out of it. Probably not as accurate as a salt or lead dip system but works very well!
