Re: Sealing torch on to existing 4-ply
I do not allow my workers to use gasoline in any form to do anything except its' intended purpose which is to fuel vehicles and mechanical equipment.

Re: Sealing torch on to existing 4-ply
Exactly why I said not to do it. He was asking for tricks of the trade. He didnt ask for SAFE tricks of the trade.
That was how all those old union guys I apprenticed with used to do it. I spud and burn. |

Re: Sealing torch on to existing 4-ply
Yeah I knew an old union guy that would use gas for everything. He'd make primer with dope and gas. He'd wash everything with gas, his hands and tools. How he wasn't burnt alive is a suprise to me. Maybe because he didn't smoke. I think if he did, he'd combust from having all that gas absorb through his skin and into his blood.
I'm not saying it doesn't work because it definetly does, but man it's dangerous! |
