SeaHorse_Fanatic will become famous soon enough
Talking

Were you an American soldier with his napalm flamethrower in a previous life?

I've thought of doing the same but never bothered. Glad someone tried it & posted their positive results.

Wear gloves, eye and a thick jacket if your going to be doing this on a regular basis. I don't know if you've ever seen what happens when you heat rock, concrete or anything pouros just a little too much.

BOOM!!!

The rock being wet makes this happen even faster and with more intensity.

Very minimum........ Protect your eyes! (The other shrapnel wounds will make for a great story.)

Good advice for anything you do with power or hand tools. I wouldn't expect Live rock to react like concrete as it is an open pour type and concrete is a closed pour type but still good advice as it is always possible..

Heck if you had an oxy-acetylene torch, you could do it with the rock under water!!

not quite Acetylene will leave a soot deposit which might not be that good for the tank.

Good point. I guess oxygen-hydrogen torches are out of our price range
