Keith McGavern rote 7/10: <<Help please. What type alcohol works best for hammer shank burning and at the same time is safest to use?>> The long thin spout is best at getting underneath the shanks. But do yourself a favor and buy he Ultra-torch butane solderer. Then you can (using the heat-shrink shield) even heat up damper wires and front rail pins, in place......cautiously.
