Richard, you can heat the sand in the oven if you have a metal bucket.

I also think you can "normalize" (temper) the brass by heating it to around 300 - 350 degrees for about an hour. Repeat this procedure 3 times or so and the molecules in the brass should all be aligned again. This method works if you don't have access to a hot enough torch, and plan on cooking a roast in the oven!
