Hi Lora,

    I've made lots of loop in loop with fused fine silver links. All
    I've ever used is either a butane torch like the one you've described
    of a Bernz-o-matic propane pencil torch. 

    I lay all the closed links in rows on a magnesia firebrick & fuse
    each link in turn until they're all fused. I've never used the
    ultralite (or similar) kiln that Jean recommends. I suppose a lot
    depends on what you learn with. 

    As far as running the little torch on gas & air goes; you're out of
    luck. However I think Smith makes an acetyline/air torch similar to
    the Prestolite torch. 

Dave
