Would this be safe to use with a butane soldering iron?

Gotta love it when there's a string of replies from folks telling you they don't know the answer to your question, right? I do know what you're referring to, and as long as your butane torch maintains a normal iron shape to the block it should fit fine. I'm assuming you're not letting the torch stay on while you're storing it in the caddy, and most butane torches are quick on/off these days. Just turn it off and stick it in. When it's not running your butane torch is just like any other iron.

I doubt that it's designed for that purpose, and depending upon the stand's location and the iron's flame and heat output, it could be a potential fire hazard; although the stand itself wouldn't burn, the sponge itself could catch fire.

Don't own one, but really don't know why not - just keep it away from the cleaning sponge.

I honestly don't know -- I just use it with a little Weller soldering iron..

Don't see why not. Keep it well stabilized and 4-6 inches off the flame and you should be ok. Make sure you've got even heating to avoid hot-spots.

I don't know but just asking that question makes me think you are wanting a real soldering iron. This would not be the product for you in that case.

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.

I think it says not for use with potable water. Look into a shark bite fittings - no soldering.

I wouldn't...too much heat needed to make the solder flow,your flux will burn before the solder flows and youll melt surrounding material and the solder will just run off.

Small open flame is good , all depends on the application.Keep the flame low and even then apply solder. good luck

It gets very hot so I would not recommend that. I have never had a burn using the iron normally.

Yes it is safe. Make sure to place it over the burner which is closest to the size of the base of the pot so heat is directly under and not around sides of pot. Also let it cool down before washing it. You will absolutely love it.

I *think* all the Weller soldering gun tips are the same, so as long as it's a tip for a soldering *gun*, you should be good. They're distinct from the soldering iron tips in that they're curved and both ends of them screw into the gun, whereas soldering iron tips are straight and screw in on one end.

I guess if you use a gas stove in your house this should be safe as well. Not a hundred per cent sure but if you have your instruction booklet, or go to the company's web site I am sure you will find an exact answer.

I think yes. I have 60 watt soldering iron and I'm quite pleased with this holder.

Sorry I have no idea that that is, I use it in jewelry making. I would assume it would work in any soldering situation but I've only used it using silver solder used in jewelry.

It would have more than enough heat for that. It will be a matter of trial and error to get the heat right. If new to soldering, before you ever power it on watch some youtube videos on tinning the tip and proper iron care. Also toss the sponge and order a hako brass mesh cleaner. Great iron though.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

I'd say that a soldering gun is too heavy a soldering tool for that type of repair. I'd op-ed for either a good quality soldering station or a portable iron like the Iso-Tip. I used this one for small parts soldering as will as SMT. You can buy a verity of tips to suit your needs. Hopes this helps.

The soldering iron varies from 350F to 850F. So you have plenty of control over the temp. I normally use around 750F.
