General Notes
This rod will work with propane, mapp, butane, oxyacetylene or any fuel source as long as the material is brought up to 389°C. The rod will not work if heated directly. You must heat the material that you are working on to 389°C and then apply the rod. The material must be cleaned with a stainless steel brush (included) because of the purity of stainless steel. The rod will not adhere to the material being brazed if it is cleaned with steel or other type of brushes.
