Steve,

    The simple answer is yes to your question whether you can use
    bottled gas and a mouth blown torch. All you need to buy is a
    pressure reducing valve, I bought one from British Oxygen for
    Propane, it has three pressure settings so I can adjust the gas
    pressure to suit the blowtorch. I used mouth blown torches until I
    switched to Oxy / Propane, which is a vast improvement if you haven't
    tried it yet. I have managed to create all sizes of work using the
    interchangeable head pieces, and if I need to anneal large pieces I
    use a sievert torch straight off the Propane bottle reduced pressure
    valve. Take a look at my orchid gallery photos, all soldering was
    done with an Oxy / propane torch.
