Does Your Hot Solder Drool and Cover Your Copper Wires Like Hot Butter?

I would discourage the use of a flame torch to solder most electrical. VERY easy with most torches to get things overheated, and almost impossible to use around other wiring. The butane powered irons are a different matter. I found a decent one at Lowes/ HD for around 20 bucks I used to have (two actually) of the huge Weller Butane. We used them mostly to solder big Heliax feedline connectors on towers. They are big and expensive, and the spark igniters fail a lot. Not worth the money for most home guys

This one: You can remove the tip, put the nut/ shield back together and use it for heat shrink tubing
