Poorly torch

[pearlescence]

reporting back. I had a big look for the prodding thing and managed to clear off my whole workbench (it's wood!) and then found the instructions for the torch which said to disassemble it and clean out the filter behind the jet. Had to go buy a spanner to shift the nut but then it was easy peasy and now it's working fine again. Plus I am no longer hoarding a load of ones and twos of pearls and bits of stuff and have a lovely clean bench to work those new pearls when back from HK.
Win win!

Ha ha, its a spring clean in autumn. Dennis.
