One of the other neat items we used was a gasoline operated torch....no oxygen...no propane...no acetylene.GASOLINE...
A woman I know was trained in Mexico using a gasoline blowtorch
- the mouth-blown kind. She says once she figured out how to
blow and not breathe the fumes too much, it worked great. She’s
used other torches since then, but she still thinks what she
learned on was one of the best.
My eternal thanks to whoever mentioned that alum could be used
as a pickle. I’m very happy in my tiny little home studio now
with a Microtorch (which works fabulously, btw), my flex-shaft
(the tool I love most of all), and a pot of alum pickle on the
stove. Only one piece left to do and I’m done for the year!
