True Classic
To start I will state I will probably buy some new dowty style washers(if I can get them here) but if I re-use my copper washers from my fuel system I know I can anneal the copper to make it soft again so as to make a good seal.
However reading online I see 2 very different opinions. Both state heat the copper to a nice cherry red. But some claim you should quench the copper in cold water where as others say allow to cool slowly.
I was always under the understanding of allow to cool slowly but is this cool quickly an "internet truth" or have I been doing it wrong all along?
