Title: Annealing silver
Post by: lampworklover on November 24, 2011, 03:14:02 PM
I previously annealed some silver in my kiln, but only need to do a couple of small bits this time ....... is my Hothead hot enough to anneal silver?

(If not, DH's handheld kitchen blowtorch?)

The handheld torch will be enough to anneal if its not a huge piece, take it to a dull cherry red that should be fine.
