How much heat is required to enable the cut-end coil to be folded down? Can this be done with a 'handyman' gas-canister torch or does one need access to oxy-propane or an oxy-acetylene torch? After having been heated, I believe, the spring should not be 'quenched' but should be left to cool 'naturally.' Comments, guys? Regards ... Geek

As the other guys have said - it's a lot less heat than you think. You should be able to hold the rest of the spring while heating it.
