Title: Hothead Leaking
Post by: mazmeabead on December 20, 2008, 01:10:20 PM
I cant make any beads till I get a new torch... :'(

My hothead is leaking from the part where the torch head screws on....

Really strong smell of gas when I tried to start making beads this morning

I tested with leak detection fluid all the way down the line...

I dont usually check the torch.  So I had a shock when I did there were huge bubbles and a pop from the torch when I tested that area..!

Dont feel too well now either...

Iv emptied out all the gas outside and opended up all the windows to disipate the propane..

Maz >:( :'(
