Could someone help me out, please. I'm trying to anneal brass but it's
turning copper color in the pickle. I put a piece of silver wire in to see
if the pickle is bad and plating it with copper. No changes to the silver
yet.
Most of what I've read about annealing just says to heat until it is dull
red and I've done this with silver. Is there a different procedure for
brass and other metals?

Thanks,
CR
