Annealing Pan 12" W/Pumice (rotating). May contain silica & toxic fumes.

An annealing pan with pumice is a tool used in jewelry making to support and protect metal pieces during the annealing process. The pan is filled with a layer of pumice, a volcanic rock that can withstand high temperatures. The metal pieces are placed on top of the pumice and heated with a torch until they reach a specific temperature for annealing. The pumice helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the metal from sticking to the pan or getting damaged.

The annealing pan with pumice is particularly useful for annealing delicate or irregularly shaped pieces that may be difficult to support with other tools. It also allows for multiple pieces to be annealed at once, saving time and effort.

Unique uses for an annealing pan with pumice in jewelry making might include using it as a base for soldering multiple small pieces together or using it as a heat shield for soldering pieces that are nearby but shouldn't be heated directly. It can also be used as a base for enameling or other high-temperature techniques.
