i need to make a rig to keep my "club" type copper soldering irons hot when im using them. now, its a real pain to fire up the propane and wait for the copper to reheat each time it cools down a bit.
i have a 20# tank i use for my solder pot stove, and other things, using quick disconnects, and i will use a "big birtha" type tip i have htat fits on a disposable tank as the burner and make me a holder for that tip, and a saddle of sorts to hold the solder irons.
i measured the threads on a tank and they appear to be close to 1"-20 but thats without my reading glasses this morning.
i've checked out the plumbers heaters but they are way larger than i need for the smaller jobs i do.
or, does anyone have an empty bottle they would like to cut the top off of and stick it in a priority mail envelope ? that would be the easiest .
i would gladly pay the postage or even send a prepaid label. . . . .
never know till you ask . . . .
