I don't think Plasti-Dip is very high temp - I've used it on tool handles and it does melt/burn... I don't think it will be used on a high heat item...bale is hand held. Have you tried it after the lantern runs a while with the bail up? Most of mine are too hot to touch, and Timm has reported melti...

Runs just fine on Coleman Fuel with ORIGINAL generator ..... just pre-warm generator first. I run all of my Coleman "kerosene" lanterns on CF only.

Why invent something new? Because, dingus, as clearly outlined above...it can melt when the lantern is in use and the bail is in the vertical position. Dingus huh? Well dufus, it hasn't happened on ANY lantern and I always hang my lanterns from the bail .... even when it warped my vinyl soffit on m...

I had a WTB ad for a nice 242B/C or 249 vent for a few weeks with nary a nibble. Evidently just "buying" one is harder than it looks.

I"ll pay postage to my domicile if it is donated to moi!

Probably if in good condition and favorable price.

You couldn't reproduce that patina in a life time. Use it as is. It really looks great!!!! RMW Surely you jest ...... leave your treasured lanterns and/or stoves in nature's elements for a year or two and your prized possessions will also look "great" with a layer of that wonderful "patina". :roll:

Good question. And why does Coleman export lanterns and stoves all the way to Japan and not try to sell some here? Also, why did they switch to plastic eccentric blocks? Things I'll go to the grave wondering. The answer will come, grasshopper, when you discover why people are obsessed with collecti...

Glen, you were either lucky, or the stamp on yours was NOT an oxide base. ALL rust removing agents will remove oxide finishes and inks. that's what oxide is, - a rust. Seen it many times for black oxide on impact tools for instance. Even some colorations on plastic handles, like screwdrivers. What ...

Yes, Evaporust will definitely remove the stamp too ! It took one of mine.

NOT definitely as it did NOT remove the stamp on mine!

I had a similar situation with CQs. One of the generator tips was worn and enlarged. I replaced and the smell was Gone with the Wind. You can either replace the tip or install a new generator.
Wife was very much mo' happy!

P.S. - CQ also burned well before the fix.
