I like the stubby dark green propane tanks. The torch is less likely to tip over. I think they're designed for camping, but they work very well for torches. 🐀🐾

At 3:37 you told me the answer I came here to KZfaq for, thanks! The sad part is that I threw my torch in the garbage because I thought the nozzle had failed permanently, all I had to do was wait 5 mins eh? Unbelievable how a nozzle with no electronics shuts off and refuses to open when you have spent more than 20 seconds trying to ignite the torch but the wind won't let you.

Thanks for the video. Since Aluminum metal melts at 660 degrees C (1220 degrees F) and a propane flame heats to 1898 deg C., can you melt aluminum directly with propane (or MAP-pro) without an aluminum brazing rod?

@GreggDistributorsLP 3 жыл бұрын

We would recommend using the TS3500 or the TS4000 as Bernzomatic lists Woodworking as an application for these models. While the Pencil torch is intended for metals and has to be lit with a sparker.

If you use a TS8000 torch head in a propane torch, will you get more heat than using a standard TS3500 that comes with a propane torch?

@GreggDistributorsLP 3 жыл бұрын

The TS8000 does achieve higher heat output due to the swirl flame design, so yes, if you use this torch head you will get more heat output.

Does MAP-PRO without oxygen reach high enough temperatures to melt small quantities of sand mixed with the other ingredients of glass? As I've purchased a Peri (a well established New Zealand company ) Super-Map torch kit and want to do some experiments over summer in a mini-crucible made from alumina-silica refractory bricks after I've repaired the wheelbarrow.

@GreggDistributorsLP 2 жыл бұрын

Considering the melting point of sand is approximately 1700°C (3090°F), MAP-Pro fuel has an in-air flame temperature of 3,730°F which means that theoretically, it should be enough heat for you to melt the sand without the oxygen cylinder.

I have a question.. I am intending to convert some old large bird cages into cat cages. The cages are made of wire small guage..and l presume that they were originally spot welded.. If l can convert them into cat cages, then simply braze the items together. Q, which torch would be most suitable..it's not heavy material in any sense. I would use MAPP gas Many thanks 😊

@GreggDistributorsLP 3 жыл бұрын

In order to be effective, the brazing torch kit does require the red oxygen cylinder combined with other fuels to produce that high intensity flame that's required for the job.

@trevorjames5493 Жыл бұрын

Can I bronze braze with the handheld micro torch if I leave the flame on long enough?

@GreggDistributorsLP Жыл бұрын

This depends on the metallurgy of the bronze you are working with. Typically bronze has a melting point of around 913 degrees Celsius. That said, the butane in your micro torch can burn up to 1,760 degrees Celsius, but a micro torch with a small flame will have a tough time getting to the required temperature with external environmental factors impacting the flame. Your best bet to get the required temperature would be to invest in a larger torch kit such as this one: greggdistributors.ca/Welding/torches-and-accessories/new-welding-torch-kits/ultuf4921
