We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Stuart
saying something like:

Does anyone know if I can still get hold of a carbon brazing torch? I
saw one a few years ago. It had two carbon electrodes in a kind of
holder and connects to an arc welder. Also, do they work? Are they any
good?


In a word..NO.!!!

All it needs is practice. I've had some fine results from them; mind
you, that was after some bloody awful results at first.

Get yourself a gas one and save yourself the grief ...

Extra expense, when a decently made Carbon Arc torch will do fine for
most of the jobs gas will do and use existing plant.
