Whenever I have done small amounts of plumbing previously, I have just used a small blow torch with butane / propane mixed gas canister.
Everything has worked fine although I do get an occasional flare, and it doesn't work upside down.
Having recently purchased a property which requires extensive renovation, I've just started on the plumbing but my gas canister has run out.
I can buy a new mixed canister for a few pounds but wondered if I'm better upgrading to a better tool.
What are the differences between pure propane and mixed gas, and would it be worth investing in MAPP gas, or is that just going to heat things up too quickly?
I have seen a rothenberger propane torch for about £40 - is this a good buy?
Thanks in advance
