Yeah canola does have a life span and needs to be replaced regularly. Might also consider a larger quench container if doing more than a couple of blades. It is also advisable to stir the quench for a more even heat dispersal throughout the quench.
Brine was always a hit or miss for me - one is one too many "tinks" for me.
Parks 50 will give better consistent results with 1095.
