Thanks for the advice- I used a piece of fiberglass cloth I had lying
around, and nothing got singed. I used the oxy-acetylene torch, but
it was probably not the best choice, since the jet of hot gas seems to
go out pretty far, sort of like a light saber. But fortunately the
tip is small and it was easy to manuver it so that nothing flammable
was in its way.
At one point I had to clean off a glob of melted solder with a small
stainless steel wire brush, and the torch accidentally melted a few of
its strands. I don't think you have to worry about that with propane!
