One of the most common questions and comments on my other video
Is about the gas i am using. Is the gas too hot. Is my gas too cold.
I do a quick experiment and settle some of the questions once and for all.

Hope you enjoy the video
Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Good info. Getting ready to start my first project here in Fort Worth, TX. I guess I could wait until Summer when everything is hot enough you don’t need a torch. Ha!

is low temp alluminium welding rods are good on cylinder head? on exhaust port?

[@richardcowan996]

I was wondering the same thing

[@craigbuchan316]

Sweet. Great vid. I did buy some 4mm rods, but my butane struggled to get a melt up. Would 2mm or 1.6 be better

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

Slightly, but in the end you still need the base metal up.

Can i use lpg?

[@joelpichette]

please re-read your question... do you burn a gas or a liquid? propane is a gas. yes you can burn propane.
now if you want to use liquid propane, you need a double detente gas regulator, lower the pressure from 250 psi to less than 5 psi, then lower it again to the burner required pressure which should be 3.5 in water column or less. That setup is very expensive and requires to be done by a certified gas technician.
the easy way is to use a blue propane plumbing tank or a green camping tank, of your need is for heavy-duty and long-lasting, you should use a propane bbq tank with a special turbotorch mostly used by roofers and 12 feet of hoses.
Any setup bigger than that will be ridiculously expensive.

@@joelpichette thanks for the answer, 9 months earlier i tried to braze with jewelers torch attached to lpg. It does not get the job done. I did not want to spend money on any harware so just glued the parts with epoxy. The parts were 2mm thick aluminium sheets for a lighting fixture.

Yup just remember 10 min on each side and make sure the center is cooked to 165 then season and eat😁

G'day mate, what flux do you use to braze aluminium?

[@marksternberg9217]

On thin aluminum i can see using the less hotter gas. However if its a thicker piece you have to heat up so much of the area around the weld to help heat disapation from getting the weld area up to temperature to work.😊

Very helpful... Thanks for sharing...

Glad I watch this seeing that aluminium melt that quick I was like holy crap

[@PeakyBlinder]

I have a question,
How do I stop the cow running away when I'm trying to collect the methane ?

[@Finntheweekendwarrior]

you need a Binford 6100

[@craigbuchan316]

[@joshuaatkins5197]

Put the cow on a treadmill. Worked for me
