Installing the exhaust tomorrow. I don't have a torch but I do Have a glass top stove. If you did the gasket ring annealing on your stove ok let me know. I don't want the copper gasket to damage the glass top. Thanks.

I don't want the copper gasket to damage the glass top. Thanks. To anneal metals like copper or silver or gold one gets the metal red hot and then immediately quenches it into cold water. The quenching is important. If you want to you can build a small fire in the yard - I think you might see some scarring with the stove. The temp you are looking for is a dull but clearly visible red. Cherry red is a warning sign about melting. I think you are in the 1200 degree range, but I go by eye. The quenching is VERY important. I know it sounds wrong to those of us working with steel, but air cooling is the way silver and gold workers actually harden the metal! This started as a single sheet of silver and two stones. So I know my non-ferrous. Sorry it came out so huge.  And for the Capn - "Ah squiddy I had nothin against ye! I just heard there was gold in yer belly". |
