Fern-Marie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 That sounds like fun using a torch! I wanna try!...not I, using silicone glue darn near did me in, I can imagine what ole Lucy here could get into with a torch.How 'bout a bic, could I do it with a bic? I've pretty much got that mastered. lolI'd love to take a pic of DH if I mention torch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 ... well, it's such a SMALL torch......how much trouble could a person get into with a mini-torch?...:laugh2::laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern-Marie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 ... well, it's such a SMALL torch......how much trouble could a person get into with a mini-torch?...:laugh2::laugh2:Yeah, right, that's what they said about the silicone glue. I ain't fallin' for that again! lol :tiptoe:...I didn't read anything about a small torch, I'm thinking, hmmm, how can I sneak that propane thingy into my craft room without DH knowing I took it? See, that's where it starts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I use my heat gun. I have a reducer that fits on the end so that the opening is only about 1/2" so I can direct the heat exactly where I want it. I also have a small butane torch that I got for "smoking" seam lines. I bought it from Pourette years ago but I am sure that they are to be found in many places. It's only about 8" tall. Very small flame that works very well. It is upstairs in the kitchen now.....hoping to "torch" some creme brulee one of these days.....the real stuff....not wax... Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo T. Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 My torch is BIG - but I'm careful. Of course, if you bought one of those smaller ones, and said it was for the kitchen, to flambe food, how could your DH complain then? That would be a lot easier to use as it isn't as heavy.

The heat gun doesn't give the effect that a gas torch does so don't despair. The beauty of the gas torch is that there is no "blowing" going on, just melting. Keep at it, and in no time at all, you'll find that yours are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
