Source for Tempilaq?

[barnacle]

Hello,
I'm looking for a Manitoba source for 750F Tempilaq.

If postage costs are lower than lunar rates I'd be interested in stores in other locations. I've tried several welding shops with little success.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Thanks for the reply. I did check there but was hoping not to spend close to $80. Hard to believe that's the going rate.

Everything is 2-3 times more expensive since the start of coovid

If it's to use for annealing you don't need it.

Amazon rarely has the best price on anything.

Mcmaster-Carr wants $25 a bottle, but the shipping from those guys is killer.

Honestly, weld shops are your best bet. They probably won't have the temperature you need in stock, but if you can get them to include it with their next order to their distributor, you should be able to get it, at a reasonable cost.

Though I tend to agree that you don't need it for annealing, and if you did, 750°F is about 200 degrees too low, anyway. But that's just my opinion.

Years ago I scored some from X Reload..

Air Liquide in Winnipeg. They don't show in stock but looks like they can bring it in.

Grainger used to carry it

AMP has some really good articles of research on the subject of annealing brass cases.

AMP also has some good propaganda

fyi, you could buy a tempilaq crayon called Tempilstik if that is available at your welding store.

The stick does not rub well on brass but can be dissolved in acetone using a nail polish bottle or something. Works the same as the liquid version then and the stick is a bit cheaper.

They make no bones about marketing and selling their product and state as such in the relevant videos and articles.

I'm referring to the stuff that contains info specific to brass cartridge cases - the construction and physical make up, the science and information surrounding work hardening and removing that work hardening. Perhaps you have links better info?

Here is a good link with some very interesting information https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/threads/stress-relief-annealing-cartridge-brass.139418/

I used these sticks when I first set my annealer up. They work ok. You have to be very quick marking on the brass as it cools off so fast. Making it liquid would be handy.

You should put a vertical line on the case before the annealing process for an accurate reading, I don't think it is even possible to get a good reading putting it on afterwards even if you are as fast as Jerry Miculek can draw his gun
