[QUOTE="jon_m, post: 521581, member: 2232"] Thanks Smoky guess I'll just use some domestic borax. Was thinking that the lab grade stuff might be more efficient at removing debris. But should postpone trying it. Might be short of borons %#^%& Manpa, do mapp gas replacement cartridges all have the same fitting? ie I note the Bunnings Tradeflame TF/Ultra mentions 1982. So thinking that if I cannot get a 'melt' then if the Bunnings cartridges can fit the Aldi torch I'd have a 2nd arrow. The Aldi torch tip is ~10mm dia and seems to throw 3 flames around it - maybe similar to what you have mentioned? Davsgold, the little furnace you have pictured; is that made of hebel? .... Thinking I could bodgy up something similar to put the little crucible in and hold more heat ...when it arrives Thanks all [/QUOTE]
