How to Light a Torch for Auto Repair

Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So early in the thing here, we're going to just heat this thing up. There's no sense taking a chance of breaking off the second one, so we've opened up the oxygen bottle, now we're opening up the as settling bottle. You want a short blue flame there; you don't want a big orange flame, you don't want a bunch of gross orange flame with a bunch of little black paratroopers flying all over your garage. So, you mix the air and the gas just right so that you get a short blue flame there. Perfect. He's operating the air control there. That's for when you're cutting you can hit the trigger there and it'll blow the melted steel away.
