This style of torch is useful for firing your Precious Metal Clay creations or for soldering of small silver and gold projects.

The torches are available from most good jewellery suppliers with prices starting at around £20 for this basic model. The torch is lit using the Piezo Electronic instant ignition and has a fine flame adjustment. A base is supplied with them also to enable the torch to be used ‘hands free’. The flame reaches 1300ºC and approximate working time of 25 minutes on a full tank. Andrew also shows you the method on how to fill up the torch with butane lighter fuel.
