[QUOTE="96blak54, post: 1497695, member: 14727"] Problem with heating aluminum is its properties wick the heat away and shed it fast. Its next to impossible to get the heat needed for the glue to release by using a small torch or hand held torch, especially propane. If it were a big propane torch, you would have a fighting chance. Acetylene is dirty but alot hotter than propane. You might have to preheat the entire intake to something like 350° or 400° before attempting spot heating with a torch. [/QUOTE]
