Do you use an Alcohol Burner

[BARICK]

Been using an alcohol burner but getting sick of the wick burning down.
I'm thinking of getting one of those Chef's Blow Torch.
Does anyone use one and are they as good or better than the alcohol burner?

[RFARREN]

I use both and they both work
You need to be careful with a gas torch as the flame is very hot
And if it is held in one spot for too long it will do serious damage
To both wraps and guides
The alcohol torch is a much cooler flame an far more forgiving

Thanks for the input guys.
Willo I use to use a cigi lighter as well before but the flame that you get is a dirty flame and you end up getting black in the epoxy.
Now I use metho in the alcohol burner since mehto is 99.5% alcohol so it's a lot cleaner burning.
Stu, get off the Turps dude, hehe

I use a cig lighter as well but don't run the lighter under the wrap! I run the lighter alongside the wrap and use a fairly quick waving motion. You don't need a lot of heat and not underneath the wraps.

You could try a flame thrower
