My propane blow torch run out of gas as I was soldering some 15mm pipe joints - so borrowed a neighbours. His Taymar BLO870 used butane/propane mix and seem to burn hotter. With mine sometimes when there is a little water in the pipe it just does not get hot enough to flow the solder around the joind... or takes ages.. So I want to replace an old blow lamp with something that can cure this problem (maybe even add automatic ignition but no entirely necessary). Advice on output levels and make / models welcomed. It's only for DIY so not daily use.
yea MAPP a lot hoter (butane/propane mix) might even melt your torch LOL. mine glows bright red on mapp
midlands, yea i've noticed that if you are using mapp and you turn the heat down on the flame adjuster, the end of the torch glows, but turn it up to full and it goes back to normal
