Is 420 degrees hot enough ?
I bought an oven thermometer and tested the soon to be mine old toaster oven. Set at 450, (the max temp for the unit,) it reached 420 in about 5 - 10 minutes and held that temperature for an hour, at which point I decided that was as hot as it gets and ended the test.
From what I read, that should be hot enough. Remember I am not looking for the maximum hardness possible, just something noticably harder than my ww/2% tin alloy.
