Can you fire copper and bronze clay in this?

Yes. But the area is small about 3 inches across and less than an inch high. U also have to buy the ceramic plates separate. All told I paid $200 for something that seems so cheaply constructed it should be $40.

Yes you can. But I think if you add too much it will make the clay to dry and it will make it crumble.

Sorry, I don't know. I purchased this firepit for my son for Christmas. I would think you can burn anything in it outdoors.

This is more a soldering gun. It is not hot enough to do plumbing. You might be able to do some light weight tin projects. Remember the area around the solder point has to be hot also. The Weller would take a very long time to do copper pipe. As a rule, I just use mine for wiring, but I could imagine it being used for small diameter copper.

Jake thank you for your inquiry, the RapidFire can reach 2000 degrees and melt copper no problem however I do recommend looking at our Quikmelt furnace for your needs as those are specifically designed to melt metal. The Quikmelt includes a crucible and tongs which you will need anyhow and it is also capable of 2200 degree maximum temperatures. If you have further questions please feel free to ask, thank you!

I don't see any reason why you couldn't, but if you are starting the cast iron directly on the diffuser it may take quite a while to heat up.

Yes you can. The heavy iron is a perfect conductor of heat and it works great.

Hi there,On the can, it says......virtually any metal, so I would think you could definitely use it on bronze.

I've never tried, but probably not. For a dual-purpose gun that is used for electrical work as well as structural soldering, that would not be a particularly strong selling point. You are probably looking for welding or brazing tools, not soldering guns, if you want to actually melt wiring.

yes but on a low flame. This portasol device has the ability to reach 850 °F; whereas copper soldering needs a range of 350 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

the stack can and will conduct a considerable amount of heat. You will want some sort of non flammable insulator between it and the metal

Yes but I'd use a heat defuser. I place it on the defuser and then start the heat medium.

You sure can. Never have the fire on high of course. I love my cookware. Had them for a couple years now. It said you can use metal utinsels when cooking but don't do that, just use wooden or that hard plastic type utinsel. They axdre soooooooo easy to clean! I think you will love your Circulon cookware.

It can. I used this to make a small forge furnace and painted it with black high-temp spray paint with no problems.

I do not recommend firing it in an electric oven at all. It only fires to green ware when baked for short periods at low temps- 250 degrees for instance, but this clay has a lot of moisture in it, so when I attempted to actually fire it in the oven at 500 degrees it exploded. Within minutes. I mean fragments everywhere, the art piece rendered unrecognizable.

No Way! For soldering both materials to be soldered together must be heated, together with the soldering agent, namely, tin, lead, etc. Guns like this, as good as they are, for small stuff like wires and maybe jewelry, won't do big stuff. A flaming torch is needed for copper pipes and such, and you'll need an arc welder for steel anything larger than real small, thin stuff. For aluminum: I've never soldered, but I'm told "tig" welding is necessary.

Not with a fire in it. All of the connector pieces are made of plastic and probably would not hold up to the heat.
