How can I learn to use a propane torch?

Answer by  DavidS (1517)

If you purchase a basic propane torch it will include operating instructions. Another source is your local home improvement or plumbing supply store. They should be able to instruct you on basic operations and usage. A basic torch kit should include everything you need to get started such as the torch, propane canister, and stryker.

First, read the manual that came with the torch for safety tips. Then, read relevant tutorials for the procedures you need to do online. Absorb as much material as possible.

The safest way would be to ask someone to show you how to use one. Propane torches can be a little scary, but they are fairly safe if you know what you're doing.

Be sure to read the manufacturer's directions and use extreme caution. It's best to practice on something first to "get a feel" of the torch.
