Great information! I might suggest: Have the parent/adult watch the presentation with the young modeler. Good bonding time and that way the adult knows what to look for also.

I left the roof of the M1070 tractor cab under a pile of heavy books for a week hoping to get it to flatten out to no avail. This video will come in handy for future builds. thank you

We're glad it helped!

Good technique with the heater... I did try a torch on a piece of brass grid to anneal it, and exactly what you showed happened - it burnt away. :) Funny in retrospect, not so much when it happened. Now I know how it's done, thank you!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

Fantastic video, wish I had known this before trying to do the curve in the Panzer III turret armor.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thank you! Hope this can help with future models!

Great video! I am now well informed. More informative and demonstrative that some other annealing videos put out by famous phptpetch companies.

@FineScaleModelermagazine Год назад

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!

@nathanram809 2 года назад

awesome video, much appreciated! and to think i was trying all this time annealing with a candle and getting frustrated it "doesn't work"

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thank you! We're glad we were able to help.

Lay the small piece upon a thicker piece & heat the thick piece from below with the flame. This way the small part won't be overheated.

Great video, but one question: how do you anneal prepainted photoetch like what Eduard provides in its kits?

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thank you, and great question! The simple answer is you don't. Heating the metal will burn the paint away. Part of the problem we find with pre-painted PE parts that you have to shape is that the paint can crack or flake off. Pre-painted PE is a good idea and has it's place, but it also has it's drawbacks.

@sunguar 2 года назад

Great instructional video. Question: Can this be done with a heat gun as opposed to a torch?

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thanks! No. You're looking to get the metal near that 600-degree range and a heat gun won't get the metal to that point.

@eingersoll8617 2 года назад

Are you touching the heating element or holding just above?

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

The photo-etched metal part is touching the heating element.

@peterharoldjanakjr2078 Год назад

Stupid question. Should I anneal the entire sheet of parts. Or should only anneal the individual part when it comes time to use that part?

@FineScaleModelermagazine Год назад

Good question! Anneal individual parts as you're ready to use them.

@nathanram809 2 года назад

question: will this help in soldering parts as well? as a preparation process?

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

It will help if you need to solder a curve because the annealed part will hold its shape better. But if you're just soldering a 90-degree corner, there's no reason to anneal the metal.

@vincejackson730 9 месяцев назад

My oven goes to 550 degrees. Can I put the entire sheet on a sheet pan and anneal it that way? My plan is to put the sheet in first. Then turn the oven on. When it reaches temperature, turn it off and allow it to cool before removing.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 9 месяцев назад

Hi Vince: To anneal brass, you'll need to get between 600 and 800 degrees. We would not recommend you try to use your oven.
