So the old girl is playing up again...
... A few tacks perfect, then what I think is down to lack of gas coverage (lots of holes and a tendency for the weld to "mushroom"). Could it be that as Im getting to the end of the bottle, there's more chance of air entering the leak?
I've actually known there's been a small leak since I replaced the torch (both times, 2nd one due to switch fault & they're cheap Chinese muck), but apart from having to remember to close the bottle, up until now it hasn't mattered.
Anyway, I've traced the leak to the gas valve in the torch:
Any ideas? Is this common?
