    Ditto to everything @kopsis said except the part about annealing. Yes annealing will help. But I’ve had more noticeable strength improvements from moisture treatment over annealing -particularly layer adhesion. The wet sponge in bag method for a few days works quite well.

    If you have the time and equipment to do both annealing and moisture treatment, do it.

    I’ve never heard of legit decibel readings for the ftn cans (or any 3dp can I know of lol). The problem is getting ahold of a decibel meter that can measure quick enough pressure impulses, and they are thousands of dollars. Phone microphones just don’t respond fast enough to the microseconds long pressure waves of a gun shot. Would be amazing to develop some sort of diy way to just ballpark it though - maybe some bursting pressure caps of increasing toughness… can’t be that hard considering the big magnitude difference in pressure between even eg 130 and 136 db
