Question why is it important to cook the rims? I am hoping to glass bead blast them in my blast cabinet, prime and paint them, and call it good. Some I have spoken with say to anneal them, and others say there is no need.

Read this thready for more info:

I have read that one quite a few times. I see that annealing the rim is needed after repairs, but I still understand the need if simply media blasting and repainting. Not being argumentative, I'm just missing something.
