Jamie,

    Do not use teflon tape on gas fittings also try turning the
    adjustment screw a few more turns it may take more than two. If the
    acetylene regulator is leaking you may have nicked the threads check
    the threads to see if they are nicked any where. The fittings are
    brass and easily dented and nicked. Check out smiths website for
    gauge pressure. I used acetylene for a very short time it is a dirty
    gas and is also very hot. I think if you are just starting out you
    may want to try propane it is a little easier to manage and you do
    not have little black soot floaters flying around your studio. You
    can also get a plumber to hook up natural gas if you have it at your
    house or studio.
