Thank-you for this.
Interesting… somewhere along the lines I got the idea that the seal was leather. From the looks of the one photo, you have a somewhat loose fitting neoprene(?) washer. I’d guess that that is not the original.

Hi Brian,
Sorry, it may be me but I can’t see the photos.

tbh, after the response from Sheen, I put this as another “project” on the to do pile and only started looking into it again when FiL asked if I had something for the weeds at his new place (tho, given that that is a timber construction home, I’m a little uneasy but that’s another story).
As to the X300/x500 no, only the Flamewand which was found on fb Marketplace for £10. Another “bargain” 🙂 Folks used to have one back in the mid-80s but it got left behind in a house move.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply and good to hear you got yours working.
“does it hold pressure when pumped up with paraffin in it?” – No, because the seal has not only perished but is completely missing. Any chance of picture of what it should look like please? Thanks.

I too have a Sheen Flame Wand which is in need of some TLC. I contacted Sheen in 2021 and received the following response,
“… unfortunately we no longer support the flamewand. Sadly it is obsolete having not been made for over 35 Years.”

If anyone has a link to where spares and the operating instructions can be found, please let me know.
