Which do you use and why? Also, tempilaq recommendations and technique?
- Thread starter Powder_Burns
- Start date
At one point I used MAPP, thinking because it burned hotter that it would work better. I could not tell the difference when it came to annealing over Propane. Then add into the fact that propane is 1/3 the cost for the same size tank. So, get propane.
Get a cordless drill and socket large enough to securely hold the brass you're annealing. 750 tempilaq inside the neck and if you want, 400 on the body about half way down. Find your time frame with the tempilaq, then count that in your head. Try to keep the point of the flame near the neck/shoulder junction and spin at a slow pace.
I got tired of doing it this way and have been using an Annealeez for a while. When you start annealing 2-300 pieces at a time it gets old... fast!

The difference in speed on the Annealeeze is too small to measure without scientific equipment.
I tried mapp once.
almost no difference
Propane is a lot cheaper.
Look up the video Orkan did on annealing.
very simple and effective.

Also looked into Mapp with the Annealeez and ditched it over cheap Coleman propane bottles.
The availability of propane along with no significant advantages for mapp, plus it being more expensive is a no brainer for me.

I don't think the Mapp gas being sold in the big box stores is actually Mapp gas.
