Essential support for various heating process Keeps wax and metal warm Ideal to be used with a Bunsen burner or alcohol lamp underneath This Tripod with Gauze is an essential tool for supporting work when soldering or heating. Made from metal, it includes a 152mm (6"x 6") steel gauze made of 22 gauge round steel with a ceramic centre and 228.6mm (9") metal legs. Ideal for supporting a range of products but particularly useful for heating copper pans (999 AFI) from underneath via a Bunsen burner or similar torch. An alternative spare gauze is available: 999 AFN. A tripod is primarily used during "sweat" soldering, a technique used to solder a (usually) flat piece of metal on top of another larger one.
