: Stan: : I use a small torch made by BernzOmatic. It's model JTH-7. It's made to burn MAPP gas and it's rated for light brazing. I like to use it on small rusty bolts/nuts because it gets them red hot so they turn off easily, but the torch is not powerful enough to actually melt the bolt/nut. Works good on bolts up to about 1/2", but for most anything bigger it really can't get them red hot. : : Pete : : What is the best procedure for freeing a couple of stuck bolts. I have propane and WD-40 but no torch? A pretty small torch will work get the part as hot as you safely can then let it partialy cool and touch a candle to it while still warm enough to melt the wax it will be drawn into the rusty or coroded part and serve as lubricant. works good/cheap.
