brass ??'s

List;
  I was asked this question and because I don't feel competent to answer it
thought I would post it so that someone who knows what they are talking about
will answer it. I have included the question and my response.

  "2. How did you reanneal the agraffes? Could hitting them with a propane
     torch do the trick?"
I used a propane torch, but the color the brass turns while heated plays a
role.
 I feel confident enough to do a set myself but I am going to post a question
to the list re; reannealing and see if someone more competent will chime in
with the correct procedure. (If there is no indication of cracking or
splitting this procedure is probably unneeded.)
