    Whoa, Regis.  I was taught very early on that the GAS should be
    turned off first then the O2.  Reason is the O2 will blow the torch
    head clean of combustables and prevent any glowing carbon from
    igniteing remaining gasses. 

    Interestingly enough, I checked my Oxy-acetylene Weldor's Handbook
    but could find no reference to shut off sequence! 

    Any other views out there?

    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT attbi.com
