So I've always annealed my cases (although my annealing sessions are infrequent) via the method of rolling them between my fingers over a candle flame until too hot to hold comfortably.
Faced with the need to do a mass annealing session once again, I thought I would ask if anyone is using a cleaner source of heat than a candle (other than a propane torch). It's no biggy, but I would like to minimize the case cleanup after finishing.
Has anyone tried either a heat gun or an alcohol lamp? Thought I would ask before experimenting with something others here have almost certainly tried at one point or another.
My heat gun has a claimed temp of 1110 F. on the high setting; I have no idea what the flame temp of an alcohol lamp is versus a candle.
Anybody already traveled this road before I thought to try it?
