    hi" Having used 'only acetylene and oxy in my home shop, I have
    found that taking proper precautions with boric acid and alcohol
    alleviate most oxidation problems, I find it to be a benefit as I can
    fuse metal more easily and platinum is a snap. true hydrogen or
    propane burn a little cleaner but they do not generate the heat level
    that acetylene does. as far as making the torch work for propane is
    not what it was designed for... get a hoke torch. you'll be much 
    happier. ringman
