It's my turn to attempt making BHB beadcaps. Spent some Chrimbo money on a disc cutting set, then read that I'd need a brass hammer, so waited for that to arrive. Watched a couple of videos and did some reading and discovered the mark your metal sheet with a sharpie then anneal with a flame method. I have a little Proxxon Microflame torch which didn't burn off the pen. Read some more and realised my copper and brass is probably too thick - 0.7mm.
Question 1: can I anneal the sheets (10cm sq) in my SC3?
Question 2: if I saw the sheets into narrow strips, will they anneal with my puny torch?
Question 3: which is preferable - a brass or a steel doming block set?
Would appreciate your advice
