Hi Folks, Doc here again with a helpful tip. We've all had the experience where we run out of fuel at the worst possible, most inopportune time. Last Christmas, I was building my lab manager a cook crane to swing pots, pans, kettle, grill surface into and out of the fires path. This required some very precise bending. This was accomplished with very precise localized heating with an oxygen-acetylene torch. The first heat and bend went perfectly. After that, the gas was gone. After some pondering, I realized I was tripping over the solution. Crank up the TIG torch and keep it moving in those e same plane as defined by your measuremetnt marks being careful to not melt your way in. It works incredibly well and easy to pick up. Give it a try...no more waiting till Monday for your gas refills!!!!
Thanks, Hope this helps.
