What kind of torch?
Hi Linda, You can use a butane handheld or an acetylene torch.
Hi Alison, Love your site! Watched your lesson on soldering. That was so fantastic! You have actually allowed me to begin soldering without fear. Marking the solders with Sharpie colors was genius! I just did that on my first hard solder. Thanks for all you do to inspire. Sasha
