    I have a Smith Little Torch with propane/oxygen setup. I have a #3
    tip that I can't seem to keep lighted. When I first light it unless
    it's VERY LOW the flame dances away until it's gone. Once getting it
    to stay at approximately 1/2" long or less I add a little O2. Barring
    not putting it out again (which happens more then not) I try to
    solder and most movement puts it out. What am I doing wrong? My O2
    pressure is set about 5-7# and my propane is a small canister that I
    don't set pressure. Any ideas?
