Hi Guys,

I got a butane torch lighter from DealExtreme. But it came empty(for safety sake they do it). Now where do I find the Refill can for these? What kinda store stores these? I stay in bangalore, so if anyone knows a particular place in bangalore?

I need it to glue coroplast as specified here and many other sites:

Thanks,
Vinay.

nice i would love to hear how it turns out (joining/strength), i think those cigar lighter refill guys should do it!

b/w are u into recumbent cycles n stuff ?

No sahil, I want to buy a refiller can for my self. They come in like those shaving foam cans. Like these: http://www.nextag.com/butane-refill/shop-html

Last time when I got a can, I was like in 5th standard, and I cant remember where in bangalore I got it from. Brigade road or something.

Nah, I am just finding a way to form the strongest glue joining for coro. It is for my Tea racer build. http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/tea-racer-build-thread/

oh okay, will these work?

Thanks fella for the link.

I found this out of those:

Let me see if I can find a cheaper one.

i though the Tea racer will be built using foam n stuff! anyways best

No, the Tea Racer as per Mugi site is a coro plane. Iam adding lots of unnecessary spice to it to make it fun.

actually the retractable landing gear n stuff should make the model really cool, so which one MK I, MK II, MK III?

Yup site looks good and should be on my way to office, thanks for the link pal! I hope their re-filler has a universal connector.

I have bought it from MK retail.

Vinay when I was in bangalore I used to buy the butane can from local shops at Brigade road. I now don't remember the name of the shop as it now two years. If you search you will surely land one.

I'm also looking for a butane torch to flash coro..whr can i a new one at bangalore?

They are available at many SP rd hardware shops.

wat should i ask thr in tat shop? any specifications for this butane torch because in anwar's post's link so many varieties thr? so suggest me a specific model of butane torch..how much will be the initial cost n refilling cost?

I guess visiting a couple of shops would be the best way to find this information.  When you do so, kindly do update here, for the benefit of others.

Ujjwal brought one for me and costed 55 bucks. He himself dosent remember where he got it from. Should be able to refill my lighter almost 10 times and should last me atleast 2 years.

I also saw one at the chinese elctronic store - where they sell all those cheap chinese stuff like rechargeble lamps, hair drier, mobile charger etc.

@ xxkrishxx

Butane torch @ Rs.278/-

Its actually very small and not good enough for flashing large areas of coro. Thats what I have and I got it for 130 bucks from Deal extreme.

It does not come filled with gas. But getting from rediff would be better as you dont have to add an additional 1.7 USD for making it registered.

I just recalled and bought for my self. It is 'Soubhagya Store', 60 feet Road, 6th Block, Kormangala, Bangalore

Click here for Google Maps location pointer.

I also got a Pen-like butane torch. it melts Depron like water melts thin paper

It rocks!!

Whether tat rediff product can be used to flash a large area of coro? Can we refill it at home itself or we have to go shop?

No, its not suitable for flashing large areas of coro. It almost look like the deal extreme link I gave you. You can check out the videos there.

On the rediff website it says : It features a refillable gas tank. It refills just like any refillable cigarette lighter.

You can refill at home.

Well i need a torch which can flash large area of coro because while constructing the wings n all flashing should be done rite? So which one is suitable for me?
