Propane torches
I could weld once - about 50 years ago - but have lost the art. I now
need to do some brazing, but cant justify expensive kit. Here in the UK there a lot of plumbers torches, and you have to be careful about getting the right one for brazing. MAPP gas is OK apparently, but costs an arm and a leg, so I want to stick to propane. It appears that propane torches running at about 4 bar get hot enough without an air supply. Does any one know if this is correct please? What are the respectable makes? Rothenberger seems to be around a lot. What about Silverline or Bullfinch?? Any ideas welcome. David B. |
