Hi, I made a Flint Striker from a piece of a File,But after I quenched it,and tried to get sparks with flint,I didn't produce a good shower of them.
I'm wondering if I didn't get it hot enough before the quench,Does it have to be an Orange colour,or will a Dull Red colour do it.also is it better to quench it in oil or water.
Any help welcome
cheers
