Aaah BoGoWo, you pipped me. I was replying to "Harden". And of course you know "Anneal" means to harden.
an·neal ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-nl)
v. an·nealed, an·neal·ing, an·neals
v. tr.
To subject (glass or metal) to a process of heating and slow cooling in order to toughen and reduce brittleness.
To strengthen or harden.
Whatever, excuse my entry and please continue from AArdvAArk, although I have no idea where that's leading in the game.
