Inspired recently by Gords… I am looking into ‘flaming’ my Trustfire TR-3T6. Surprizingly it was much simpler to disesmble than I expected. EXCEPT… How do I remove the rear clicky without destroying it?
I don't have that light, but are there 2 holes opposite each other in the inside of the tailcap?
Sure is!
If your going for a fade, leave off the tailcap and heat to about a third of the way up the tube, job sorted 
Ok, just stick the tips of some pliers into the holes and twist. It will screw right out.
Stupid question time… Can the oven generate the heat I need?
Insert tweezers/snapring pliars, turn out anti-clockwise.

My wife seems strangely opposed to me having a butane torch… Curious…
it can… but you wont get the same effect as gords. look at my recent WTS thread, i baked it for a while… its a slow process
Yep, that’s where the term “baking” comes from.
I think it wants to be about 150c / 330 ish f but I’m not sure, as I just blow lamp the crap out of the host. J)
The oven is a bit slo0w but the microwave is much faster. :evil: Just remember to put it on a microwave safe dish.
i broiled at 450 for quite some time

What effect did you get??
This made I giggle like a maniac, for the sake of clarity for anyone reading, please really don’t do this, unless you don’t like the microwave or its owner. 
its the burnt orange one
edit: id like to state one more time… i suck at taking pictures
Remember, video!!! 
Wrap it in tin foil for extra safety.
cool!!!... Scaru, I am not allowed to use the microwave since the ‘cat’ incident.
Just to clear up, lastime I used a butane torch, that did the job.
This time I’m planning on using oxy-propane in the hope I can get the heat in quick and more concentrated, before cooling, rotating and doing the next area. I have no idea if this will have the desired effect or not, but I’m hoping for a sort of scollaped design.
The only other way I can think of getting a design is by getting some of the panel beaters heat soak putty, forming the design, heating and see what happens.
I should use the regular oven & not the broiler… Sit it on a cookie sheet or what?
Have you tried the old incan light bulb in a bowl of water microwave trick? That’s fun and another reason to dislike CFL’s, I figure the plastics will make a mess before the desired result.
