Well found the quickrete MSDS for play sand, notes on page 5 that the melting point is a RIDICULOUS >3110F! That is HIGH! so i guess no worries of the sand turning into glass! http://packagepavement.com/QK_MSDS_2...and%202007.pdf

I made some keys out of spring steel and annealed them by heating them and putting them in LIME only I heated the pot of LIME on the gas stove first --I tried propane the gas stove for heating the spring steel the first time but its not hot enouth---
