Hi Jeff,
Thanks. Just checking which annealing process!.
It has been a long time since I planished copper fruit bowls and
plaques in metalwork class at Secondary School. Have to watch they do not
spit back at you.

Annealing copper is easy - heat to visible red/orange, plunge in water -

Hi Geoff,
Interesting subject, good question and answers. I always keep a good
stock of both types of washers ready for dismantling or repairing my Aster
engines. Also interesting that Mike does not use any washers at all?. (Must
have some very flat mating surfaces?).

I would suggest the copper for high heat or when the mating surfaces are
very good. I have found that more torque is required for sealing copper
gaskets. Fiber for other connections such as in the event there is cause
to disconnect frequently-- for example, if the safety valve is removed for

Where is it best to use a copper washer, and where is it best to use a fiber
