Key benefits High-temperature flame: reaches up to 1300 °C, enabling melting of many non-ferrous metals. Compatible with cartridge gas cylinders: a single cartridge generally provides about 1.5–2 hours of continuous flame. Simple, reliable ignition: quick pre-flow and a low valve setting make lighting fast and consistent. Safer operation when used correctly: maintain proper distance to avoid nozzle overheating. What it does and how it helps Melts gold, silver, copper, aluminum and tin for small-scale casting, repair, or alloying tasks. The 1300 °C flame delivers the heat needed for fast, localized melting of these metals. Does not melt steel or iron. The tool is not suitable for applications that require melting or cutting ferrous metals. Works with standard cartridge gas cylinders; no specialized fuel required. Performance and operation tips Fuel duration: expect roughly 1.5–2 hours of continuous flame from a cartridge gas cylinder. Ignition procedure: before lighting, open the gas valve for about two seconds to allow flow, then return the valve to the minimum setting—this makes ignition easier and more reliable. Maintain distance: keep a reasonable gap between the nozzle and the workpiece. Holding the nozzle too close can overheat or temper the nozzle area and reduce performance or service life. Practical use scenarios Jewelry and small foundry work: melting and casting small quantities of gold or silver for repair, refining, or custom pieces. Metal repair and hobby projects: brazing, joining, or melting copper, aluminum or tin in small DIY or workshop tasks. Prototyping and sample preparation: quickly heating and melting non-ferrous samples for testing or model making. Important reminder Intended for non-ferrous metals only; do not use for steel or iron. Follow the ignition and distance guidance to reduce the risk of nozzle damage and to maintain consistent performance.
