Does anyone use a small butane torch for soldering?

I have never tried it but noticed they allways use them for soldering AND heatshrinking on the discovery channel hot rod shows.

I don't know how well it would solder but they seem to do ok, so maybe it just takes a bit of practice; I get a bit sick of having to set up the soldering station near the car, its allways messy and a hassle.

yes i use one and they work a treat. i use them also with petex{or what ever it is called}, its a plastic you use to melt into radiators etc to stop leaks at the race track, its also used on the bottom of snow ski's to fix gravel rash.

good add to the tech tips!thanks
