[QUOTE="eschafer, post: 1868551, member: 85764"] Not that I'll deviate from my salt bath technique (as it works well for me), but as an alternative medium for those interested, perhaps a stainless steel medium similar to our tumbler mediums might work? I do believe such mediums come in all shapes and sizes (smaller and less cylindrical might be best).... food for thought... I do my salt bath annealing on top of our glass top stove with whole floor area surrounding stove with thick beach towels, all before the wife even rolls over in the morning...:) My water quench is on the floor and all other liquids are miles away from the stove.. If she wanders down for whatever reason, she's summarily ordered "BACK TO BED".. :). Works well... I'd be concerned about sand and powdered metal sticking inside the case shoulder (where a bore brush wouldn't be able to remove it)... Would have to be careful with stainless sticking too....
