Q A's Revenge Posted January 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2014 I saw one of these in the kitchen shop at a good price and it seemed a shame to leave it on the shelf. All my other torches are much bigger so I figured it must come in useful for something ... So now I have to ask, have any of you guys got something similar and if so what do you use it for! http://www.fackelmann.de/no_cache/en/fackelmann/household/basic/basic/?tx_fackelmannproductlist_pi1%5Bitem%5D=30&tx_fackelmannproductlist_pi1%5Bview%5D=detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippwj Posted January 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2014 Very handy for soldering small stuff. Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhermann Posted January 16, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2014 Is that a small torch? It's the only size I own, and I have used it for all silver soldering on Bluenose.

captainbob Posted January 16, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2014 I use a similar torch to silver solder and to anneal brass. Bob Quote Every build is a learning experience.

Remcohe Posted January 16, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2014 Such a torch is good for general soldering, but if you need to do really small stuff you'll need something like this: Remco WackoWolf and sonicmcdude 2 Quote Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Modeler12 Posted January 16, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 16, 2014 There is a smaller version which is great for silver soldering thin wire and other tiny stuff. You hold it like a pencil and in less than a second I can make a butt joint. You might want to take a look at the last part of this earlier thread http://modelshipworl...ng-tools/page-2 The little torch, bottle of fuel and the tube of solder/flux would cost about twenty to thirty dollars.
