    I'm using a air compressor tank regulated at about 50 psi , this
    seems to provide  enough cooling to keep your hands in the chamber.
    As far as annealing goes I do this only if  replacing a complete
    prong but haven't on retipping. I will anneal almost a pieces (
    shanks and such ) so it goes smoothly. Argon is a great to have , I
    have heard it is good to use on white gold but haven't really seen
    any advantages to using it.  But on titanium WOW !!
