Thank you Rob and everyone for the advice. Interesting that it's
quenched to soften it. I wonder if my daughter would mind me using the
little fish pond for quenching them? :)

Neal,
You heat it then quench it with water to soften it.

I have a couple of lengths of "salvaged" tubing myself with a few
too many bends in it. I wouldn't have bothered in the past, but with
the cost of copper... Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has managed
to UN-work harden tubing? I was thinking of sticking it in the oven
on high heat for a while and letting it slowly cool. Anyone ever try
it? It's a pain in the neck, sure, but compared to unpotting an nst
for example, it doesn't sound too bad.
Neal.
