Thanks Greg your a true international educator. Kind Regards. . . Andy

Excellent tutorial. I find the biggest problem my students have with soldering is that they hold the torch too far away from the point they wish to flow soldier or they erratically move the torch about (because they were taught to do this to initially warm the piece.) This eventually leads to the entire piece overheating. Either the flux burns off and nothing flows or previous joints come undone.

Hello William, I just got done soldering a minute ago with the torch. Yes, it is a good one. I have seen them on ebay used. The Uniweld acetylene torch is similar. Also, check with your local welding supplier. They may have a suggestion and a model for you. Let me know how it goes. Thanks Greg Greenwood

Hi William I’m just looking through Greg’s comment and I noticed yours. I’m very new to the art but I have already wasted money on a single gas torches. I asked Greg the same question as you and then foolishly purchased a single gas Sievert jewellers torch, great for little stuff but I wanted to make a 50mm wide copper cuff bracelet with a 2.5mm copper wire carrying beads on it. I couldn’t have made what I wanted with the Sievert or my plumber’s torches. The plumbers torch would heat the copper but over heat the beads. The jewellers torch with a needle nozzle would have a small enough flame but it wouldn’t have the power to heat up the copper fast enough so as not to damage the beads. Before you buy another torch have a good look at dual gas options, I wish I had, before spending money needlessly. Like I say, Greg told me but I didn’t listen. . £££$$$£££!!! I now have a great Mapp gas and Oxygen kit. It cooks like oxyacetylene, but I probably should have looked at oxy/propane as a better option for my needs. Don’t rush at it like I did!
