    You may need an upgrade on the torch. If you are wanting to do
    production silver you need and  a smith acetylene air or invest in
    an propane oxygen. When I first started I used a benzomatic propane
    tank and an oxygen tank I picked up the whole thing at home depot. I
    had to replace the oxygen too often so I bought the smith acetylene
    air  then 8 years later bought the little torch. You need a flame
    that is sharp but not hissing to solder, you need a loose flame for annealing.
