Ok I wanna give u a few tips for the torch, first off when you fill it you should always put the torch and the can of butane upside down, second the hottest part of the flame should be the tip not in the middle of it, you will notice some orange color flame around the object you are melting when at the hottest point, plus you can get better results if you get like 5x refined butane :)

[@scoopscience]

Thanks for these tips, also I have recently gotten some refined butane gas, so I might use that a lot more!!

[@DarthCookie]

@@scoopscience Hottest part of a butane flame is not the tip of the flame. It's the tip of the inner brighter blue jet. #GTS

[@Ramsello]

Yes U shuld put torch upside down, becose butane is hevier than atmosferik air. When torch is under conteiner with butane, air frome the tank can run away and butane can fill torch tank to full. Have happy life in 2020 everyone.

[@bigredinfinity3126]

When you fill it upside down it ober fills it I just fill it for each job rather than fill it all the way otherwise it spurts liquid butane

[@sompka1]

The issue with my torch (looks the same) was the nozzle clogging. Happened nearly instantly. I dissassembled it and the orofic is a stainless disk with a micro hole in it. Really ridiculous as they dd int bother adding a sponge filter like you see in the cheapest of lighters. I rolled up a tiny amount of cotton and stuffed that down the pipe before placing the disk on and inserting it back into place. That seems to have made it more resillient to any particles inside the tank. To clean the orifice I lightly jabbed at the stainless disk with the end of a braid of solder wick. Eventually one fiber pokes through and your good. Copper wont destroy the stainless orifice,

[@josephparsons3405]

Yeah, butane combined with just the oxygen from air together in that Venturi nozzle can only get so hot. Standard lead solder is no match for a butane jet, but aluminum and zinc are going to require a little more heat/higher temperature. Or just more time and persistence.

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

8:09, you can see two faces in the solder/zinc

[@scoopscience]

+JacobsBackyardGardening I just noticed that. :)

[@sendludes3636]

why would you melt soda ?

[@mcleod212000]

DONT YOU KNOW THE HOTTEST PART OF THE FLAME - YOU ARE TOO CLOSE

[@scoopscience]

Yeah, there are two parts of a flame that are the hottest, and that is in the middle and on the tip of the flame. (also, why the CAPS)

[@Thecarverman]

Its not the flame thats the hottest part its the air just above the flame thats is at its hottest point usually with this particular torch 1300 degrees celsius is what i have tested with mine

[@jamesmcleod4560]

WRONG the hottest part is the tip of the blue flame - not the air above

[@mjyanimations1062]

Cheap rubbing that is very good

[@koolcats159]

is the pencil torch you have from a company called tool zone it may have said it on the package when you got it .

[@scoopscience]

I do not recall the package saying that, I just bought it from a hardware store where I am.

[@shaunhernandez9177]

+Scoop Science what is the hardware stores name???

[@shaunhernandez9177]

+Scoop Science what is the name of the hardware store that you bought the pencil torch from I would really like to check them out on the web please let me know as soon as possible.???

[@scoopscience]

The hardware store isn't a popular franchise, it is a standalone store called disposals.

[@micha88756]

+Scoop Science H ey mate is that the disposals near Burwood Westfield?

[@flicks3009]

Very nice

[@scoopscience]

I was so surprised by how mush this video took off!!

[@tsirantonakis]

Today I got mine out of the box, filled it up, it worked fine. Then in the evening I went to fill it up again and I can't make it light up. Gas doesn't come out from the front at all and I 've checked from the bottom, it has gas in it. Any ideas?

[@helennicholas8804]

You probably don’t have it anymore but in the chance you do then it is the disk in the jet that is probably clogged if that helps good if it doesn’t then idk good luck

[@tsirantonakis]

@@helennicholas8804 Thanks for the reply! I think I have it somewhere and I'll check it.

[@EweTubio]

Great video Mate Can’t understand why there is 97 thumbs down. What brand is it please? Purchased from?

[@JonathonRoyse]

That's pretty sick, man! I know where to turn if I am ever in need of a self made torch.

[@scoopscience]

+Jonathon Royse Thanks, it would also be pretty cool to make your own torch!!

[@mjyanimations1062]

Turn the can upside down when refilling, and that not a butane refill can, that is a fuel cartridge for bbq

[@shaunhernandez9177]

do you know what would make the objects that you aren't working very hot and hard enough to get better results. you would need a can of spray that you use to spray your kitchen pans before you cook which would be the spray butter or another type of spray oil when you spray oil on the object the oils start to conduct more heat then usual you will notice this when the oil on the object starts to boil and when it starts to boil you will notice discoloration on the object the discoloration means that the Allies in the middle or the object is beginning to expand on the inside and start to melt faster give it a try you will notice it it is a nice tip to give you and hope to see you use this on a video.

[@scoopscience]

I could use this on a small piece of aluminium, I have olive oil spray in my kitchen that I could use. I might give it a try sometime.

[@shaunhernandez9177]

+Scoop Science aluminium is the best metal to use to get the best results from when you start to give it a try

[@scoopscience]

I think I will make an individual video about it, not this weekend but next weekend.

[@scoopscience]

It was from a place called disposals, it isn't a big world wide franchise though, just a local spot, and they aren't actually selling the torches there anymore, so I got one just in time.

[@shaunhernandez9177]

+Scoop Science im also on Facebook are you as well???

[@onealrc2711]

not bashing you or anything but the tip of flame is the hottest not the bottom part and remember to holy sideways or upside down. cool video though NICE

[@scoopscience]

Thanks man, I also don't remember using the bottom of the flame though, I think I was using the middle, because I was taught that the middle and the tip of the flame was the hottest.

[@onealrc2711]

Scoop Science yeah that's true as well because if you use the very tip or the flip things will mostly just melt but it's not really a big deal I was just wanting you to know so you can melt that aluminum faster

[@scoopscience]

Yeah, no worries. Cheers!

[@alibh7938]

The hottest part is on the tip of the flame.. the closest part is not the hotest its the coolest.. in fact it wont melt your object fast because it will heat the surrounding not the object itself, thank me later !

[@TheJamiejosh]

Bet that cheap gasmate butane clogged the nozzle in no time.

[@scoopscience]

Probably explains why it doesn't work too well now!

You filled it wrong , point the touch facing the floor the put the butane on top of your pen touch , You had the pen torch facing up when you tried to fill it have both faceing down down or you wont get much gas , watch more you tube videos on how to fill it properly, a butane soldering iron , the tip can come off and the it's a torch or put the soldering tip back on it a soldering iron again , do some more you tube videos on filling and on butane soldering Iron,you dont have to spend a lot ,but sometime it's better to spend a little more to get a better useful tool I have have one of those little blue torches I use it for heat shrink , do your research and watch you tube videos.

[@JokeDeity2]

LOL. Dude, you just want the tip on it, you're using torches wrong.

[@scoopscience]

k

[@Chase_01]

U put air in it your supposed to hold the butane upside down

[@scoopscience]

I do know that now, but thank you anyway!

[@hacmi2318]

Can I get a heart?

[@darkscope.2350]

can i get a heart

[@scoopscience]

Sure

[@madeleineprice9645]

Trying not to sound like a smartarse, isn't the hottest part of a flame at the tip? You seem to be trying to melt stuff by holding the pencil torch too close....just asking...

[@BengtRosini13]

gold melts at 1984 degrees Fahrenheit, 1064 degrees Celsius. you were WAY off on that bit of information.

[@scoopscience]

What did I say? Because I have known for years the melting point of gold.

[@BengtRosini13]

ha, I'm pretty sure I heard around 1600 degrees centigrade. that's the only reason I responded with that.

[@scoopscience]

Ahh okay, all good

[@thombaz]

@@BengtRosini13 Centigrade?

[@anticom6099]

@Bengt He said 1065…

[@darty4r5]

Delete this and redo everything correctly. What a mess, filling it wrong, heating the metal wrong, placement of flame wrong. Advice wrong wrong wrong

[@notyou4430]

He is young give him a break Mr perfect

[@scoopscience]

Haha, Rob. You are a funny guy. I made this video in 2015. I'm not gonna re-do it.
