how hammers are hardened ...any clues?

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,

       Then do you soak the hammer or just wet the strike point and alittle 
beyond? Also. after the laquer thinner is applied, I would think that blotting 
the thinner to remove it also removes the unwanted laquer with it thereby 
softening the hammer OR does merely applying the laquer withou blotting it back 
off enough to soften the things?

Thanks
