Hi All,
I'm having a problem where one of the cadweld one-shot doesn't have any of the
igniting powder in it. From what I've gathered the main powder material needs
a very high temperature to ignite. So far I've tried a torch (MAPP gas) but
still the main powder fails to ignite despite the powder was glowing red.
Someone has suggested using a magnesium fire starter. I didn't have any
problems lighting the other cadwelds with a flint but what does one do if
there's no igniting powder? Your help is greatly appreciated. 73.
Just a propane torch should ignite them. I've ignited them with match
heads from the old kitchen matches, which isn't very safe and I do not
recommend.
If it was glowing, it should have ignited.
We're missing something.
