    I have used my Little Torch for 10 years and love it.  The #4 is for
    the smallest soldering jobs such as earring posts.  I use the # 5
    for most work and the #7 for ring sizings, silver work and platinum.
     I have oxy/propane and generally have 5 lbs pressure on each.  For
    a more intense flame for platinum, I crank it up to 7 - 10 lbs pressure.
