|I'm only one up from you on the newbie stakes!
Realistically though the small torch probably isn't up to the job, as 2mm wire, twisted is quite heavy to get hot enough. I've accepted the limitations of my torch and either make open cuff bangles or save them for my evening class.
Be warned that with the amount of heat you are putting on this bangle that you are likely to have fire stain and it will be difficult to polish the bangle to a high shine as you won't be able to file off the copper, because of the twists, that has been brought to the surface by the heat. I've got the T shirt
for fire stain!!!! A satin finish with a brass brush makes the fire stain less obvious. The experts might have more info on removing fire stain.
OMG I've just made a technical post!!!!
