I will soon be going to Ghana to work with a non-profit organization
promoting a village jewelry-making enterprise in the Krobo region. I
have been invited to teach these artisans intermediate metalworking
techniques, especially basic soldering. I’ll need to purchase a torch
and related items once I’m there-in Accra, I assume. I urgently need
on what jewelry designers are currently using for fuel
and torches and where to obtain this equipment. I do not want to use
a blowtorch. The idea is to make it as easy and safe as possible to
teach basic soldering skills so I would prefer to use something close
to what Americans consider conventional torch setups. I understand
that butane and propane are available in Ghana and would prefer to
use butane with these novices. Any is greatly
appreciated!
