    Says LOW TEMP on the label..I think its the fact that aluminum quickly wicks heat away and the base area I need to repair just cant reach the right temp. And yes I am using MAPP gas. 15 minutes on the same spot and nothing..so it has to be heat wicking away.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Have you got any fibreglass insulation - the old fashioned stuff that you put in the loft (attic?) to keep the house warm?
