Yes, you can solder with a propane torch, but it's not the best method. Propane torches are great for heating up metal, but they don't have a very precise flame. This means that it's easy to overheat the metal and melt the solder. If you're going to use a propane torch for soldering, be sure to practice on some scrap metal first.
Yes, you can melt solder with a cigarette lighter. The flame from a cigarette lighter is hot enough to melt solder. However, soldering with a cigarette lighter is not recommended because it is difficult to control the heat from the flame.
Yes, you can solder gold with a propane torch. Propane torches are often used for soldering metals like gold.
A torch can be used instead of a soldering iron, but it is not as effective. A soldering iron is specifically designed to heat up and melt solder, while a torch is not. A torch will not get as hot as a soldering iron, and will not melt the solder as quickly.

This four-way review may be most applicable to sous vide cooks because: (Heat gun), (torch), Searzall, Fan Nozzle, and 3The Porter Cable PC1500HG electric heat gun was my first purchase, however I found it to be inadequate for finishing sous vide meat. I was unaware of the Fan Nozzle when I made the purchase. It is a fantastic heat gun, though. Cost, $28.30The well-known Benzomatic TS8000 torch and the related Searzall Torch Attachment were the next purchases.My old propane torch can be easily replaced by this one, especially with its fast on/off feature, and the Searzall adds capability, as demonstrated in a number of YouTube movies. Cost: $114 ($40 for a torch, $75 for a Searzall).Then I found the Porter Cable Fan Nozzle, which makes the Porter Cable PC1500HG heat gun almost as effective for searing meat as the Searzall and Torch. A cheap steel "jellyroll" pan, which I generally lay on my gas stove just in case some hot air escapes the pan's edges, can also be used indoors with the Porter Cable heat gun to cook meat. The meat sears fairly quickly when the nozzle is placed just a hair's breadth above it. Cost, $11.44.Yes! I spent 10 times as much on the Searzall and Torch as the nozzle did! I occasionally use the Searzall, but only when there is sufficient searing to warrant performing the task outside. The majority of the time, using the electric heat gun indoors is just as efficient, if not more so, than having to move everything outside, grab the torch from the garage, put everything back, and then move back inside.All of these goods are excellent, but occasionally I wonder if I could have saved $114 if I had known then what I know now. The Searzall, however, is hotter and covers a wider area than the torch.

This works really well for lighting pellets for a smoker tube, which is the main application for it. But because the flame is so intense, it may be employed for a variety of tasks. The torch is nicely made, sturdy, and attractive. Additionally, a stand for storage is included. It carries 28 grams of butane, so that will last you for a long (sticker on torch is something I placed on to remind me of how much butane it would hold). Additionally, it features a safety cap that must be removed with a little "power," which is advantageous. Butane must be poured into the torch, although doing so was simple. It is a tiny torch, yet it produces a lot of heat and flame.

UPDATE 2: The seller supplied a replacement torch as soon as I complained about the torch's butane leak. So far, the replacement is performing fine. My rating has been raised to four stars.ADVANCED: I do not suggest using this torch. Butane cannot be charged into it. Even though I filled it up four times, all of the butane leaked out after three days. And the valve is indeed tightly closed. This is my second Blusky torch, and it has the same flaws as the first one. I intend to return it because it is still covered under warranty.PRIMARY REVIEWThe first torch I got was broken. The igniter only seldom ignited. Before the igniter ignited, a significant amount of butane was released as a result. a perilous circumstance. When I informed Amazon, they made it simple for me to return the item and get a replacement. Fortunately, the replacement torch performs perfectly. I appreciate that the lamp doesn't need to be continuously illuminated by pressing a button. You can modify the flame to suit your demands by turning the knob that controls gas flow. good torch for the money.

I frequently solder little sterling silver and metal pieces at my bench using a small butane torch like this one for convenience. I've tried a few different sizes and brands, and they all work, albeit some do it better than others. Getting the entire metal surface hot enough to guarantee a proper join on all the components is the biggest issue with handheld torches. This can be challenging, if not impossible, on larger pieces (like a belt buckle), therefore I've always used my huge acetylene torch for objects bigger than a necklace.But everything has changed because of this torch. It's a powerhouse and can quickly and uniformly heat most larger parts, even those with several joins, to the appropriate temperature. With this buy, I'm quite happy. This torch is the one for you if your handheld one lacks the courage to heat heavier metal jewelry pieces. Other portable torches appear to wear out or break after only a few months. Since nearly seven months ago, I have used my Blazer Big Shot every day without experiencing any issues. I still use my acetylene torch for large projects, and that won't change. However, this torch does a lot and is portable.

This is a fantastic option if you'd like a single instrument to periodically perform soldering, rope cutting, hot air, heat shrinking, pyrography (wood etching with heat or flame), and hot knife operations. There are specific instruments that are better for each particular job, but they are less adaptable and portable. There are significantly less expensive choices that do not require butane refills, such as an electric soldering iron, if you plan to use this device for straightforward soldering tasks where you have access to electricity. Use a soldering iron that allows you to precisely control the temperature if you are soldering heat-sensitive components. I got the VersaTip so I could use the hot air top for heat shrink and desoldering chores as well as for rapid wire soldering when I needed to solder something outside and did not feel like running an extension cord. I chose this product above other butane torches for two reasons: first, the tip options' diversity; second, the price premium associated with the Dermal brand; and, third, the ease with which I could purchase local big-box hardware stores' adapters and accessories.The VersaTip differs from Dremel's other product in this category, the VersaFlame, in that it is better suited for tasks that require greater precision and delicate control, such soldering and pyrography. VersaFlame does not include the cutting knife, shaping knife, hot air tip, or wide blower tip that the VersaTip does. As opposed to the VersaTip's wide blower, the VersaFlame has a blower. The VersaFlame has a bigger flame head and uses it. VersaTip needs unscrewing the cage around the flame tip and inserting in a metal threaded tube to receive the solder tip, but the VersaFlame does not require any disassembly to add the solder tip attachments. However, this is not a major concern. The blower accessory for the VersaFlame does need to be used with a Philips screwdriver.The case, which is large, awful, and made of thin metal that easily bends and warps, is the one aspect of this device that really annoys me. If you place the case in a tool bag, the lid simply slides off and all the attachments fall out because there is no way to secure the lid closed on the case. I use a large rubber band to secure the cover to the case, but I do wonder if it would have been wiser to purchase one of the almost identical goods made by the same company's competitors instead. Additional, extremely comparable goodsMulti-Use Butane Torch and Hot Air Soldering Kit, Blazer SI-100CRKit for Soldering Butane with Power Probe PPSKBoth have far better case designs that lock shut.After lighting the flame with the top blue switch, the top lever acts as an igniter. Flame size is controlled by the blue slider. When utilizing the solder tip, you must be extremely careful to position the exhaust exit hole away from you because if it blows on your finger, it will burn you immediately.According to online tests, the VersaTip appears to operate for 65 minutes on the lowest flame setting and 45 minutes on the highest flame setting in real-world situations.If you don't already have any butane refill canisters, be sure to purchase some because this product arrives empty and without fuel.

Before killing it, I had only one opportunity to use this. It was effective when I used it to solder a few wires. For the brief time I used it, I thought it was great and would always choose it over an electric iron. I intended to use it for several purposes, including the shrink-wrapping of cables. This met all the criteria in comparison to the alternatives I could locate. I'll buy this again if the necessity arises in the future.The soldering tip threads onto one of the other long tips, which is how I destroyed it. To secure the soldering tip, Dremel offers a tiny wrench. When I went to remove it after finishing, I was unaware that the tip's primary portion also rotates easily. I twisted the main section while removing the soldering tip with the tiny wrench. A tiny plastic tube located beneath the main part houses the ignitor element. I cut this piece exactly in half. For the price I paid, I simply chose not to mess with the torch, even though it could still be utilized if I lighted it with a cigarette lighter or anything similar. Just leaving this here to prevent others from making the same error. It's neither a flaw nor a reason not to buy it, in my opinion.

I really enjoyed the concept of the kit overall. For a while now, I've been seeking for a small torch. I had read numerous customer evaluations for various models and brands. As a hobbyist, handyman, and professional carpenter, I looked for reviews that were specific to my situation.My Lexivon butane torch arrived a day earlier than expected after I ordered it, so that was a fantastic start.I accidentally placed a separate order for a can of standard butane fuel, which is primarily used for lighters.I was pleased with the unit's overall design, build quality, and all of the advice offered. It was simple to set up and worked well the first time. I anealed copper wire for certain projects and soldered bronze sheet metal and copper wire chain.The torch eventually lost its ability to stay lit when solering tips were used. I got in touch with Lexivon using the customer support page on their website. They gave an immediate response. My issue was swiftly identified in a single email. It turned out to be a user mistake because good torches need filtered butane. Throughout the weekend, the customer service representative messaged me to make sure my issue was resolved, to check that the torch was working properly, and to offer the possibility of sending out a full new kit if necessary.The torch was a great addition to my workstation, and thanks to the superb customer service, it has become one of my favorite hand tools.I would be willing to purchase any tool that Lexivon has to offer.

I read a lot of reviews on many torches and heard a lot about this particular brand. More than anything, the build quality piqued my interest.I'm not sure how to phrase this because I think being direct will make me sound unduly critical. Simply fine quality can be found. However, I mean it in the strictest sense. So far, everything in terms of fit and function has been excellent, which is nice. Because manufacturing efficiency is given such a strong priority, every component of a design is now manufactured just good enough to feasibly prevent malfunctioning. It is, at the very least, a natural course in economies as we know them, so I'm not even trying to be preachy about it or anything. The drawback is that, if you understand what I mean, nothing is any longer "pleasant." Any regularly produced, mass-produced item that is "too nicely" created will be regarded a mistake and changed.Therefore, when I see people harp on the build quality of a brand of a mechanically basic product that is otherwise, I actually feel delighted when I see the much higher price. I consider things like "Oh, maybe that really is wonderful! Additionally, they could afford to overbuild it at that price, making this plausible."And that brought up my issue: "overbuild." I anticipated that would be lovely just for the sake of being kind. Manufacturing that is absurdly overspecified because it could be done easily enough.None of that is the case. Simply put, it is superbly constructed. If I produced this, I would be happy to sell it since I know there were no excessive manufacturing costs saved and that it is a high-quality item built to last for a very long time under normal use. I'm glad that items like this still exist (for the retail market anyway). Really so, I realize I scarcely even notice any more. Having said that, I do believe there is a healthy margin on these. It's going to a company that still cares about producing quality goods, at least. Not "make the investors happy forever" awful, not "crazy fantastic artisan awesome," simply good. There is nothing wrong with good.The base pad was a touch too huge for me to really sit on, which was a problem. The base is significant in this. It now fits snugly after I wrapped the body in black gaff tape. I gave this product four stars because of that and the fact that it was generally pricey.Function-wise, it performs flawlessly. This lengthy assessment, which alludes to economic theory in mass production, may have given you a hint as to how well this torch heated the quartz.

incredible small torch I like that you can get add-ons for it so that you can solder wires, and it contains a nice amount of fluid. I usually use it to shrink buttconnectors, and even after all these years since I bought it, it has never let me down. Very reliable product. I really suggest purchasing this!April 2019 is the most recent revision. Although I've dropped this item numerous times in the past with no problems, I believe I dropped it this time and messed it up. It sticks, stays on, and leaks gas, but again, that's because I've dropped it a lot and subjected it to harsh Heavy Duty Diesel shop treatment. If you don't drop it at all, or even a few times, I'd say this torch is a tank. Will probably end up purchasing a replacement for this one.
Yes, you can use too much flux when soldering. If you use too much flux, it can cause the solder to not adhere to the metal surface properly and can cause the solder joint to be weak.
There is a lot of debate on whether it is better to flux the fitting or the pipe when soldering. The general consensus is that it is better to flux the fitting because it allows the heat to be distributed more evenly.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a torch. The first is what you will be using the torch for. If you need a powerful beam, then you will want a torch with a strong LED. If you just need a small light to help you see in the dark, then a regular flashlight will suffice. The second factor is the size of the torch. If you need a compact light that you can carry with you, then you will want a small torch. If you need a powerful light that can light up a large area, then you will want a larger torch
Flux is an important part of the soldering process, as it helps to clean the metals being joined and promote the flow of solder. However, if flux is left on the metals for too long before soldering, it can become corrosive and damage the metals. For this reason, it is important to only apply flux to the metals immediately before soldering.
There is no indication that soldering copper pipes will become illegal. In fact, it is still one of the most common methods for joining copper pipes.
Soldering torches are used for joining two pieces of metal together by heating the metal so that it melts and flows into a joint.
