I used an acetylene torch to ignite my one shot plus Cadwell charges. It
worked fine. It took about 3 - 4 seconds to ignite each one.

Propane and Map-gas were not hot enough.

They should be if you have the fine grained igniter charge on top. It's easily ignited while the more coarse welding charge is not. I had several "Old" charges. The igniter charge had dropped out of the base of the container and poure in with the welding charges. Those, I used the OxyAcetylene torch with a #1 tip although any of the smaller tips will word as long as the flow isn't high enough to blow the charge out of the cup.

Checked them out earlier. Their website features the Cadweld One Shot
Plus
that requires the use of a $135.00 controller for ignition. I was hoping
to
be able to use the same lighter I use to light my propane torch and skip
the
controller.

I've been looking for Cadweld One Shots that accommodate three wires.
Bought several 2-wire Cadwelds from Chris Perri, KF7P, but his website
does not list the three wire variety. The manufacturer's part number is

NT1161L.

Looking for a source for a few units and any pointers would be

appreciated.


Thanks,



Bob, K9RHY
