A pinpoint flame reaching up to 1300°C, made for base repair rather than borrowed from a kitchen.
The reason to use a proper torch is carbon. A lighter or a badly adjusted flame burns dirty and deposits soot into the P-Tex as it melts — that is the black, brittle material that crumbles out of a repair a few days later. A clean, hot, focused flame melts the material without contaminating it.

- Melts and applies base repair material without carbon build-up
- For professional ski and snowboard repair
The focused flame is the other half. A broad flame heats base material around the damage, and overheated base distorts and discolours. A narrow flame puts heat only where the repair is.
Work with the flame small, close to the base, and keep it moving. Let each fill cool before adding more rather than building a deep pool of molten P-Tex.
Use with P-Tex candles, and scrape flush with a steel scraper once cured.
