I don't know as I've never used one of them. If the tank is dry and clean around the area to be soldered, the flame should present no problem since it's about 3" back from the tip, which is the part touching the steel and doing the heating and soldering. It's about the same as using the heavy old soldering coppers, but with the torch you have constant heat.
