I'm having a problem where one of the cadweld one-shot doesn't have
any of the igniting powder in it. From what I've gathered the main
powder material needs a very high temperature to ignite. So far I've
tried a torch (MAPP gas) but still the main powder fails to ignite
despite the powder was glowing red. Someone has suggested using a
magnesium fire starter. I didn't have any problems lighting the other
cadwelds with a flint but what does one do if there's no igniting
powder? Your help is greatly appreciated. 73.
Just a propane torch should ignite them. I've ignited them with match
heads from the old kitchen matches, which isn't very safe and I do not
recommend.
If it was glowing, it should have ignited.
We're missing something.
What you're missing is that this particular shot has no igniting powder.
Takes much more than a match with this ingredient missing...
