Will a Copper Pipe Exposed to an Open Flame Be Safe?
For school, I need to make a creative DNA replica. Being pretty handy, I want to make a ring out of a flattened section of a copper pipe (with sections cut out, compliments of a Dremel tool), and heated to achieve the twisted look, with the ends soudered together. I was planning on achieving said twist by [briefly] exposing the pipe to an open flame, and twisting it with gloved hands. Would this be a hazard, or would this be safe for me to breathe? Also, I was planning on using the flame or a soudering gun for the 'welding' of the ends. Any ideas? Thanks!
should be no problem, that is how plumbers connect copper pipes, by heating them with a torch.
However, you can get a simple bending tool that will let you bend the tubing without applying heat. Copper is very malleable.
