I love the convenience of flame drying my mandrels. So, when I ran out of my favorite, I went to Arrow Springs and found they now have a new one.

OK, I ordered it, with fear and trepidations. OMG I am delighted with my purchase.

I found it smooth, easy to dry and proceeded to torch. I liked that it changed color as it dried.

Since I have a day job and torch when it allows, I need something that will keep on the mandrel for later use. I loaded up my mandrel holders with various sizes and torched that day. Then over the next week, used them all up. Even after sitting a week, no problem with flaking or chipping.

Way to go Arrow Springs.

P.S. I forgot to mention how easy it was to remove when I finished annealing. No soaking required!
