Just joined the site and saying hello to all. I've been smithing for a long time but don't get on forums like I used to. Looking forward to reading and sharing with you.

I have had the same thing happen to me. I have tried the sand method ... it works but the sand takes forever to heat up. While waiting for the sand to warm up, I watched the temp readings. What I found was the longer the oven was on, the more stable the temp got. The result is, instead of using sand, I just let the oven pre heat for 15 minutes before putting blades in there. I've had good results.
