I'll let you know how it goes
I got one that pops on top of a butane canister.
If it reaches near its advertise 1100C with any luck it will at least soften it up to dig out.

| Post subject: | Quick Q: removing brazing? |
A quick question - what's the best way to removing factory brazing on a Mini? I've removed the front apron and at the moment have a small half inch high section left from the wheel arch to the bonnet latch panel. I know the apron was spot welded to the wings but there is some brazing on either end (wheel arch and wing-latch panel) which I need to remove nicely. Hope that makes sense. |

An oxy would be ideal if you could get your hands on one |

An oxy would be perfect, unfortunately I don't have access to one. Would a butane torch or similar get enough heat into it? Or is there another portable tool I could use? |

Oxy, or an LPG or butane torch. Hot air gun won't work- too cool. |

Might work but I think too small. I was thinking of a plumbers gas torch (Primus, etc). I have oxy/LPG- it'll do anything except fusion weld with steel rod. |

Yeah those sort are OK I have a Ronson one. 
Then the Ronson style canisters disappeared and it won't fit current ones.
