Q: I am in the process of making two platinum wedding rings and am at the stage of annealling the metal. I currently use a micro-torch which heats up to a maximum temperature of 1300 degrees C, but am struggling to get the platinum hot enough (the metal is not changing color at all). Could you tell me if the torch I am using is hot enough to get the platinum to the correct annealling temperature? A: Are you using oxy/propane with your torch? The metal should be bright orange in no time. I think you may have to use a different torch if this one is not getting hot enough. You will need one anyway to weld the bands do you not? Another option would be to set a kiln at 1000c and place the bands inside for annealing.. Would you like to know more about this subject? Have more questions?
