Matt says that you have to get the whole joint up to an equal temperature, which is a tricky proposition as a moments inattention will see a hole burnt through the lug- he normally uses a number five tip, but for heating a joint to get a tube out he uses an 18.
Presumably he then beckons to his asbestos octopus, who deftly pulls the tube out whilst restraining the others.
