Trouble is, they always seem to go on the blink before they have a chance to get old. I figured out a long time ago that the problem was caused by soot blocking the nozzles, but neither a pin nor a can of pressurised air seemed to be able to clear them. That was, until I had a bit of a brain fart and put my faltering gas lighter into the dishwasher along with the knives and forks. (Yeah, well, it had been a very good evening.
)It was gratifyingly clean when it emerged from its bath, but there was so much water inside it that I almost threw it away. But a few hours in the unseasonably bright sun, and wow, it was as good as new. I now have six or seven gas wands, all fully restored. Which is five or six more than I really need.
Anybody need a light?BJ
