My coolant expansion tank started leaking this week. I'm thinking I'm gonna DIY myself a new lid out of aluminum this weekend. Anyone know what temp a propaine torch reaches?

According to wiki
An air-only torch will burn at around 1,995 °C (3,623 °F), less if heat loss to the surroundings is taken into account. Oxygen-fed torches can be much hotter at up to 2,820 °C (5,110 °F), depending on the fuel-oxygen ratio.

okay I should be fine. The solder I'm looking at melts at 450, so it's in a good spot to not warp the amuminum yet won't re-melt if i powder coat it at 350.
