Like a smaller version of this



However not used one, as I've never oxydised mesh

It will do the job but it'll take a while longer than a standard sized torch

When I wanted to wick my new Genesis I tried everywhere to get a little blowtorch like the videos show but couldn't.
While walking round Tescos I saw a little gadget that you use for lighting gas stoves.You fill it with lighter gas and it looks like a disposable lighter with a long neck and it did the job perfectly.so I suppose it would work the one you are looking at but there are bad reviews about that one on Amazon

I just use the gas stove on the cooker.....

I've had 2 of these which broke (the valve just spins so you cannot turn off) I will not be buying any more. I use my cooker ATM but may invest in a "bunsen burner" cigarette lighter.

personally i would stay away from cheap crud
i used a cheapo ebay one the other day to make some wicks for a mate
the starter had broken and the flame control was blooming useless !!!
one minute i would manage to get the flame workable and the next it would spit a flame 2 foot long across the room

i personally use a quality gas solder iron with attachment but it would be very useful to see if anyone has found a decent torch they could recommend

What about the one igetcha uses in his videos seems pretty good and you can pick them up cheap enough.

[Gordy]

do you know what make he used Nick?

good thinking....off to take a look at the videos

[alvoram]

[Gordy]

[alvoram]
