I have a pair of the electric solder irons, I have used them in the past to pre heat the joint and if it won't release due to paint and water etc I then use the blow torch but it is used for a much shorter time and minimises any risk.

They get very hot indeed. I think they will cope fine. They hit about 500 degrees and can do 22mm easy
