    Hello, My name is Ann and I just joined.  I would like to know about
    annealing 6 gauge sterling silver. My problem is, that I am making 6
    gauge 3.5 inch earrings that I bend at about the half way point and
    I am not able to get the metal soft enough to bend easily which will
    be a problem in the long run for the wearer of these earrings.  Is
    this possible or is 6 gauge just too thick to work it easily?  I
    have brought the metal up to red let it cool back to grey then
    quenched it numerous times, is there something I'm just not getting?
