Hello,

    I have read almost everything in the forums about air acetylene
    torches and have decided (I think) to use the smith handi-heat torch.
    The question that I have is what size tip #3 or #4 am I going to need
    to melt about 6ozt of silver? I talked to a local welding company and
    he said for a #4 tip I would need a size 4 acetylene tank which would
    be about $170 (ouch). Do I need a #4 tip to melt this much silver, 
    and will a #3 and/or #4 tip work okay with a B tank?
