Sounds like the system he came up with was with the use of the Tempil Stick or Tempil Laq. I made the mistake of getting the 650 Stick (Markel Thermomelt Heat Stik), as it was supposed to work like a crayon according to what i read. Well it's chalky so it doesn't rub on. But i thought to just scrape a bit off on the inside of the case mouth, and use a pair of jewelers glasses to see when it dissipates, and it actually worked well this way with the torch. But i was often questioning it since many of the videos i saw the necks were turning red hot, and mine weren't--obviously not correct according to what i'm reading here. But i have done many 17 Mach IV and 223 cases with no problems so far, but i may have to try the candle system with the chalk and see how that works too.

John--do u remember what issue that article was in?
