[TowerTalk] Ignitor for Cadwelds

[Dubovsky, George]

I have lit them off in a pinch by cutting a clothes hanger apart to get
a 1 ft or so wire, heated the end of it to red or yellow heat with a
propane torch, and then immediately touched that end of the wire to the
ignition powder in the one-shot. That way, the powder is not blown away
by the propane flame. 

Safety note: DEFINITELY WEAR HEAVY GLOVES AND SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION. I
WEAR SHADE 5.0 GAS WELDING GOGGLES WHEN I DO CADWELDS.

Is there a "local source" for an ignitor suitable for lighting the Erico
one-shots? I didn't
get
the starter, darn it!
