Jerry,

A few years ago I saw a fellow at Lake Hodges who had modified a Radio Shack butane 
soldering iron by attaching about an inch
diameter copper disk to the tip. He used it to successfully apply a patch of a few 
square inches. Temperature control wasn't great -
especially in the wind. As I recall, the disk was pretty thin for rapid heat-up. I 
think more thermal mass would be beneficial.
