Whats a good non-stick agent to use on the brass to prevent lead from clinging ?

If you are annealing, when the brass reaches the proper anneal temperature, lead will not cling.

If you will notice you can see the color change then drop them in the water, the color is kinda a light purple and if you notice you can see it change.

I've always used the "pain" method. Hold the case by the base and heat it until it's too hot to hold anymore.
