annealing an old file.
Hi all, I want to anneal a big old farrier's rasp, I have a single burner propane forge, but I do not have a pile of ash or a container full of vermiculite or perlite. most suggestions are to heat to critical, soak a little further, then bury in a good insulating material & let cool slowly for a long time. in lieu of a good insulating material, right after taking it off the forge, could I set it in a preheated electric oven and leave it in there at a lower setting for several hours? or would that not be similar enough to an overnight cooling in ash/vermiculite?
thanks!
