yeah u have to hold it in the blue flame  not red(or orange or whatever color it is) cuz the netal thing will turn black

[mathlaura]

@divinemoon16 I don't know what you mean. The blue is the hottest part of the flame, so you hold it there in order to heat it. Stainless steel will not turn black from heat. The reason that things (including metal) that do not catch fire turn black in many sorts of fire is that it is smoke/soot. Butane flames don't have that sort of byproduct, so won't turn anything black unless it's due to charring (and metal doesn't char).

@mathlaura what you just said is what i meant =] lol sorry

[TheRestin1]

@mathlaura actually the tip of the flame is the hottest not the blue part

BLUE=COLDEST PART OF FLAME

WHITE/TIP=HOTTEST

Now the real question is: how did it heal? Post pics!

[mathlaura]

Hmm, I was going to post pics as requested, but looks like YouTube won't allow links as an anti-spam measure. Chances of me actually making a photo montage: low.

JEEZ!

[mathlaura]

That's a good idea. I'll see if we can do that for the last session, whenever that may be.

This would've been so much better if you recorded it all and sped it up and showed the end result.

[hankypanky1014]

wow, i got respect for you. You didn't even flinch, love the design hope it healed well.

[mathlaura]

Electrocautery tools are not as hot as red hot stainless steel. Electrocautery brands make a shallower burn which in many people heals over after a few years. Also due to the lower temperature it's more painful.

Now you know!

You have a nice arm :-)

So you know why he use a torch heated iron, instead of an electric powered soldering iron with better continuous temp control?

[izzy999799]

[mathlaura]

Guess.
