How to Make a Homemade Blowtorch
A blow torch’s flame can deliver up to 3,623-degree Fahrenheit heat so that you can do the job conveniently. That’s why it is considered one of the useful items in every kitchen. You can easily get them in the stores near you or order them through different online shops. But sometimes, you may need to make one by yourself to access immediate heat. That’s why I am here to show you how to make a homemade blowtorch most simply. So, without any delay, let’s dive in!
Summary: Making a homemade blowtorch is easy and fun! All you need is some aluminum foil, a lighter, and some air. Start by wrapping one end of the aluminum foil around the lighter. Make sure the aluminum foil is tight so the flame doesn’t escape. Now, hold the other end of the aluminum foil close to the object you want to burn. Breathe in deeply and then blow out the flame, quickly igniting the foil. Keep your hand close to the burning object to extinguish the flames.
How to Make a Homemade Blowtorch
For this process, we will need a syringe and a regular lighter. So, if you have got those, let’s get started.
First, use a pin and press it inside the syringe’s upper part, leaving a 1 ml distance. Now, take a syringe needle and cut the sharp end.
After that, take your regular lighter, remove its cap and spring, and press the needle through the small hole. Once you complete that, cut the bottom end that contains plastic.
Secure the attachment by applying some glue. Next, bend the newly made top end a bit so that it can enter through the hole of the syringe, staying straight.
Now, align the syringe and lighter together, inserting the needle from the hole. Next, glue them up. Put a new needle on the syringe’s head. That’s it; you just made your very own blowtorch with a simple syringe and lighter. Congratulation! You can increase or decrease the flame of your blow torch by pressing the syringe.
