I should like to buy some form of blow torch, something hot. I=92m =
looking for
something hotter than my regular plumbing item and much cheaper and more
portable than the big set-ups=85with which I=92m barely =
acquainted=85.MIG, TIG(?)
and oxy-acetylene rigs with vast bottles on a trolley.=20
I=92m after something with which to heat up stuck bolts, maybe do a bit =
of
light brazing or heavy soldering. Something portable=85..pick it up, =
click,
use it, switch off & move on.=20
I=92ve seen one set-up which has two small bottles, one of oxygen the =
other of
=93High power gas mixture AT 3000=94. This latter bottle apparently =
being a 65%
butane & 25% propylene mix.
As you may have gathered, I know nothing of these matters=85
As a sample of what I=92m looking for, the first task will require a =
rapid
heat to solder or braze nuts onto broken off bolts. Rapid because the =
bolts
are in the underside of the (previous) seat for my ride-on mower. These
bolts are surrounded by the foam rubber of which the seat is largely =
built.
Were I able to extract them without wrecking the seat, I could probably =
flog
the seat on eBay for +/-=A375.00 which would largely recoup the cost of =
a
torch?? (Parts and labour on ride-ons are ridiculous over here. (UK). =
For
example, I used to take my wife=92s Porsche 944S2 to a specialist =
Porsche
garage. Not a Main Dealer. His hourly rate was less than that of the =
local
garden machinery thieves). As ever, I digress.
So, what should I be looking at? I see MAPP torches, but they don=92t =
appear
to be much better than my plumbing torch=85.? Or are they?
Thanks,
Simon
