Rapid heat and quench can be easy or difficult depending on what a guy is working with . As a metal cools from the glowing state it goes though many colors changes before it cools right down to the final color which is typically black . A guy needs to know what is the best color to quench on because each color will give a different hardness . It isn't easy with thin metals since they cool down too fast and your going to need fast hands and really good eyes to follow the color changes . The proper way with something like that is to use a furnace , hold them at high heat for a period of time then quickly cool them down . Except my guess is there won't be enough carbon left to get a proper heat treat for a second time

I have had alot of people ask me how I am putting in these weedguards so hopefully this will put all the questions at rest. You can put wire weedguards in any mold. 1) you cut a weedguard insert so it is flush with the inside of the cavity 2) cut a slot in the weedguard insert for the wire weedguard. I use a dremel. 3) when you make your weedguards make sure that it hooks around the jig hook. Use wire of your own choice. 4) put it all together in the mold. So as you see you can put a wire weedguard in any mold that takes a fiber weedguard. Hope this helps.
