RE: stuck bolt, part duex

And here I thought I was the man with Oxy/Acetylene, guess I need a MAPP
can in the arsenal, eh? :) Tho I haven't met a bolt I can't melt with what
I have....

You can try MAPP gas on your propane torch as an alternative. It has a
flame ~5000°F.

I've used both (and own both), there is a big difference, the propane gives
false hope, the oxy/acet gives results. :)

My standard approach: Soak with PB Blast/penetrant of your choice and
heat to excess with a real torch before impacting it again?

all i have for heat is a plumbers propane tank...i guess it is better than
nothing, (then again if i had nothing i would probably get a torch :)
