[TheForge] Annealing Aluminum

[JOHN CHOBRDA]

Craig:
	Or if you want to be more accurate, Granger Supply sells an IR
thermometer with a laser pointer for about $100.00 (it's guaranteed for as
long as you own it). It's accurate to within 2%, and I love mine, instead of
carrying around 6 or 7 different temple sticks I just point, press the
button, and I know the exact temperature.
