Pesky torch

Can't you open the canister in a way, or press on the thingie somehow to release the remainder of the gas? If you do it outside there is no risk of anything exploding. And I agree, retailers should take them back.

I thought gas canisters had little valves that stopped them leaking when you took the business end off?

If they don't, then I should learn this now rather than later

I fight with my torch maybe 3-4 times everyday,

I use a pencil torch for small soldering jobs and it is quite adequate. I bought a larger torch but have yet to use it - I shall try to get the courage together to use it soon!!
