I always find that I need to leave the flame on the weed for slightly longer than it says but yes if you are doing grass just be a little more cautious. Also make sure the grass is not wet as it won't do a lot. I am finding a large canister goes a long way. Good luck.
If you cannot use the edger to cut off the surplus grass I would just leave it for now until you can, Putting weedkiller down to kill the surplus will leave a very ugly brown fringe round your lawn if you cannot lift it. Live with it I think is the answer unless you can get someone to help.

Indeed it is supposed to heat it to a said temperature that will kill the weed in a few days but mine shrivelled a little but were still alive a few days later so had to give them a more intense burn which has now done the job. Also some weeds are invincible and just don't want to die!

The idea behind the flame gun is that it just gets the weed hot enough to kill it - which is 60 deg C or less. You don't have to burn it.
The half-moon edger, if nice and sharp, needs very little effort to use - just put it on the line and tread on it. Just don't try and cut the drive!
Good to hear you're recovering - keep it up!

Have been to Aldi this morning to buy myself one of these flame throwers.
Listen out for the fire engine later in the week...
*pppppppppffffffffttttttttttttttttttttt*
Well?
I haven't been out this week due to adverse conditions .
Rain, hail, snow with occasional bright spells that don't last long enough for the grass and weeds to dry or for me to put my wellies on !
Hello summer !
