steamer

[David Nereson]

Fabric store?  Bed, Bath and Beyond?  online search for "travel
iron"?  hotplate, tea kettle, homemade adapter for the spout,
and a length of rubber tubing?

Hi List,

I would like to use steam on an upcoming key bushing job, but
have not been able to find any of the handy devices my
colleagues have online.  Any suggestions for an off-the-shelf,
hold-it-in-your-hand gizmo capable of producing a fine, steady
stream of steam?

Proctor Silex electric kettle #1057 if you can find one. It is a
one-piece small kettle with a sliding part on top to make it
whistle if you want it to. Slid back, the opening supplies a
steady and focused stream of steam. The kettle does not have an
auto-shut-off so it works continuously. I found mine in a
second-hand store for $5.

                 John
