Bit of heat

[Ian Faulds]

Just bought these on ebay, mine came with 2 extra bottles, I don't have oxygen acetylene but these heat to 3000 degrees, can gas weld with it but I just wanted it for rusty bolts, bushes etc. Ideal.i don't have any connections with company. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CASTOLIN-PORTABLE-GAS-LEAD-WELDING-BRAZING-PLUMBING-ROOFING-MINI-PORTAPACK-KIT-/234051600492?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Is the welder practical for bodywork ?

I would say no, it'll give too much distortion, ok for chasis repairs but the gas wouldn't last long, mig would be better. As said I bought it for seized bolts etc. Gets hotter than my plumbers canister blow torch. You can get a cheaper one I think £109, but the extra bottles save you money on the set I bought.

I had a similar one early 80's think it was American the oxygen was produced using pellets in a tube, similar two canister arrangement on a frame, worked well easy brazing

Hi Paul, no I haven't  I know what to expect as I'm retired toolmaker, the bottles are small so no free hits,so I'm saving gas, I'll only fire them up when I need them. There's videos on you tube. Like I said handy to have.
