On this heating subject, heat the CASTING AROUND the well, do not direct the heat directly onto the brass parts as brass melts at a lot lower heat, I heat the cast to red hot, but not bright or white red hot. Brass melts at about 1700 degrees, white hot cast is about 2500 degrees, and acetylene/oxygen flame burns at about 6,330 °F.
