    Martha, I have been using acetylene with silver for over 30 years.  I
    have never had a problem and I will continue to use it.  I also use
    acetylene and Oxygen mixed for use with my minitorch.  It is
    important to have a regulator on your tank.  You will one that tells
    you the amount of pressure in your tank and how much gas you have
    left.  

    It is absolutely necessary to test for leakage when you attach your
    regulator.  You do this by mixing some soap and water and making a
    sudsy mixture.  You take this mixture and rub it around the the
    fixtures that are attached.  If it bubbles (blows bubbles) then you
    have a leak and you need to tighten your regulator.
