Hi,

Has anyone tried annealing the olive for a compression joint, to see
if it's less likely to leak?

You really shouldn't need to if you make the joint correctly

But it's a good idea if you're reusing olives.
I've anealed copper olives and reused them with good results

Some olives look like brass and I've never tried reusing them as I
don't know if you can anneal brass.
