Hi David,

I don't believe the MAPP gas will get it hot enough. You need to get it to around 1500°F. The MAPP gas may be hot enough but you need more volume of heated air from the torch.

I'd look for an old time service station or muffler shop. It would probably be cheaper there than going to a welding shop where there may be a minimum charge in my experience anyway.
