Hi Lachlan,
We seal capillaries for High temperature work with a very fine
acetylene oxygen torch that jewelers use.
the sample isn't heated by this local flame.

Hi All
I know this doesn't have direct application to rietveld work (well,
I will be using it), but I am doing time-resolved powder XRD
precipitation experiments in hydrothermal aqueous solutions using
1mm OD sapphire capillaries, a furnace mounted to our XRD and
epoxy. I am curious whether there are other sealants people have
used other than epoxy, or what type of epoxies people prefer. I'm
looking at temperatures up to 300C.
Thanks for any help
Cheers
Lachlan
