Squeeze Bottle blow torch.

So lately I've been using a squeeze bottle blow torch on chavant clay for smoothing and found the wick burns out too quick. I use methylated spirit... Am I using the right stuff. It's driving me nuts.

Leebea... I took your advice and got an alcohol blow torch... had the same problem.... felt like experimenting: Bought a small gas blow torch from a dentist's place; something like this: http://www.google.co.in/imgres?imgur...=0CDIQrQMwAzgU

It seems to be ok for now

I bought a mini gas blow torch myself recently.... I have a lot more control over the flame than the alcohol torch.
