Miniature Torch  (640-2164)       Hints and Tips       Faxback Doc. # 16432

1.  If using the Torch at intervals where you must prepare to setup your
    work and then braze or solder, you will find it wise to turn off the
    Torch in order to save on fuel.  A lit candle could be used and left
    lit for ease of lighting the cub when your work is ready.

2.  If you want to put the Torch down while it is lit, rig up some type of
    holder so it won't fall down, or place it in a small glass so that the
    burner nozzle can extend over the side.

3.  Although the Torch works fine outside, you should keep in mind that
    strong winds will blow it out, and the flame is extremely difficult to
    see.  For these reasons, we recommend that most work be done indoors in
    a well ventilated room where the flame is visible and wind is not
    present.

4.  When removing putty from old storm windows, bring the window into the
    house and allow the glass time to go to room temperature.  Point the
    flame directly on the putty to be removed and use a sharp putty knife
    to roll the putty out.
