Hi all,

    I'm teaching myself how to solder and I'm looking for recommendations
    for a propane/air or mapp/air torch. I plan to use this torch to
    solder chains of jump rings (in Argentium sterling and possibly gold
    filled). Simple stuff, but I think I'll need a fine head. I've tried
    small butane torches and your standard plumbers torch with both
    propane and mapp gas with limited success. I'm ready to invest in a
    "real" torch now. However, I live in a condominium in the desert,
    where it can reach 120 degrees in the summer, so oxygen is not an
    option. I'm hoping that the smith little torch will work just as well
    without oxygen but the descriptions in catalogs suggest that it is
    meant to be run with oxygen. Can I use this torch with just air?. Is
    there a different torch I should consider? Your advice is
    appreciated.
