Hi Jem
This often happens if you tilt a butane (Soudogaz) torch downwards, as
liquid gets drawn into the burner instead of gas. I had quite a hairy
experience when soldering water pipes in my loft, after which I vowed never
to use one again. Nowadays, I always take a small propane cylinder and
Sievert torch with me for such work, it's much safer as the cylinder stays
upright.
Regards
Ron
