@Henry Plews I'll update either way. My order for the Primus 6145 jet went in yesterday.
@Henry Plews this could well be great news Henry as the Veritas is based on a Thermidor 303 lantern. I will give Base Camp a call in the morning....
@presscall I had just posted a personal message on this subject when I saw this reply which answers several of my questions. I was thinking 27...
It would appear you can buy sets of needles intended to clear 3D printer jets sized from 0.15mm increasing in 0.05mm increments. Useful for...
Thanks Nils. I'll need to have a rethink. @presscall what size jet did the needle give you John? Rob.
Well I have to laugh at my efforts. Several hours work for a net result of zero difference. I'm wondering if the removal of the carbon negated any...
@Fireexit1 not daft at all, I've had that issue with a few, especially Petromax lanterns. The pressure thing is interesting some say high, some...
@rayw I could definitely give the jet peening another go and attempt to not close it completely. I really like the wire idea, many vapourisers...
I tried a quick burn test and the preheat was certainly a lot faster but the issue of being unable to get flames within the mantle remained. I...
I mentioned earlier that I couldn't lift the vapouriser off the cleaning needle. It turned out to be a heavy build up of carbon inside that was...
@Mackburner you're exactly right Neil. It turned out to be a large build up of carbon inside that was preventing the triangular part of the...
I've got some very fine drills I use to size stove jets Tony, so I'll try those. I've also got some pricking wires that I'm sure there are...
I'm not at all sure how I'll go about it yet John, especially as the vaporiser won't lift off over the cleaning needle so I can only unscrew the...
My latest addition is this Veritas bowl heater. Like most of the others it is missing the wire guard but otherwise is in fine cosmetic condition...
Hi Jeff, agreed I'll try and peen it tomorrow. Rob.
Sorry just realised this should be in the fettling section. Apologies. Rob.
Hi all I recently acquired this Veritas Bowl heater and I seem unable to get to the point of blue flames within the steel 'mantle'. I've managed...
The Coleman and Optimus make a lovely couple, certainly a better age match. I do like the patina of the Bialaddin though. Going back to the...
@presscall Hi John, there's a chance Cookson Gold may stock the wet enamel in the next few weeks, no doubt at elevated prices, but I've not given...
It would appear my timing couldn't be worse. WG Ball the main UK retailer for wet enamels for steel has shut it's retail side because of brexit...
