Can you use a solder flame with this?

The manufacturer does not recommend this item for soldering as it is made out of aluminum.

I modified mine, I drilled deeper holes and made longer pins to hold the work away from the block. Yes I do solder on mine.

Yes, but this is overkill, possibly too hot. Just buy a regular soldering iron. You can find them for 10 bucks or so all day long!

Yes, MAPP will work fine for that. The melting point is only a little higher than that of plumbing solder. Be sure to use liquid flux, NOT the paste flux.

You can regulate the flow of propane to the burner and it will affect the temperature, How much I don't know. I lower it when I want it on, but am not soldering anything.

I have never tried soldering silver with it but mine gets hotter than any other torch I've had before. Just don't know anything about soldering silver.

Can be, yes, just make sure it doesn't have direct contact with an open flame

No you cannot. It's a composite material that would not stand up to direct flames in my opinion.

No, it is a good soldering iron but it is not good for a torch hrink or anything else besides having their tips on it. Home Depot sells a good cheap 1 $20 $25 that we use for soldering with you open flame and to shrink wrap with it

No, you cannot do this. For this purpose I suggest you to use butane burner, which you can buy separately

I never tried it, but there does not seem to be any reason why you can't unless it boils over and messes up your burner. I would call REC TEC, they are very responsive and would have a better answer.

I would not recommend that. The surface is not the biggest surface so some spillover could occur onto the electrical components and would not make it very safe. Not to mention that I'm not sure it was meant to be used for flambeing. Be on the safe side and just use a separate pan to flambe.

yes I'm pretty sure it will work I have used a small butane torch to do soldering with this before it and it worked great

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

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.

Caleb, if it was sheet metal (thin) with mapp gas, maybe, For me I would try to pickup a small oxy-acetylene used set, much hotter flame and you can use it for brazing, welding, cutting, and heating.

Yes, with certain materials. A higher than 4% silver solder (40%, for example) may require an open, hotter flame to solder. Go to Youtube and search "How to solder jump rings with Dremel Versitip" for an excellent demonstration.

Not yet. I don't use them for soldering. They are to hold plastic parts for building model kits for my railroading hobby. In looking at them, they look to be made of nylon base material. Not sure the melting point of nylon, but I would guess a solding gun or pencil could melt them.
