With that torch, I will say no. It will not get the surrounding metal hot enough, even for brazing. Some of the newer torches do get hotter and may work, but it is hard to say how well they will work. Now, if it was with oxygen, then yes, it should work fine as it is only a few hundred degrees less than acetylene/oxygen.

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

That would never get hot enough to weld. For less then $100.00 you can get a fairly decent welder at Harbor Freight that will get the job done.
