    I haven't been on Orchid for a while so I don't know if anyone has
    mentioned this recently or not so hopefully I am not wasting anyones
    time.. Have you seen the butane flameless soldering pencils. Run
    about $80 or so and use butane for a fuel. Produce hot air or heat up
    a tip. I use the hot air to polish wax and have adapted a tip that
    reduces the size of the air flow and directs it. you can control the
    air flow and temp with a dial on the handle and with the reduced air
    flow you can polish in crevases and at the base of angles without
    melting the top surface. It is also good for heat forming or
    smoothing of edges...all in all a very usefull tool and very
    portable.. Frank
