Title: CIM - loving it but what about annealing?
Post by: jobead on June 13, 2009, 12:12:38 AM
I've just took delivery of a CIM sample pack and I'm finding it great to work with. I bulk anneal but I'm just hoping someone can confirm that I am oK to use the same timings/temperature as for effetre?

Aha, this is the one I am using anyway for Effetre, so that was my question really. If I use this will it be OK for CIM.

Also makes things simpler if I ever use 90coe although using a hothead I'm not sure I will ever have enough time on my hands to try to melt Bullseye !

Thanks Y'all
