Dear all

    I have for the last 7 years of my careers used a combination of LPG
    gas and oxygen. From my training I understand the using a combination
    of oxygen and acetylene yeilds a higher flame tempreture. 

    Does anyone have any advise for me with regards to how differnt it
    is to the use of LPG with oxygen. I know that when using LPG, u open
    the LPG tap first and ignite a flame....Is that the same as using the
    Acetylene? (I am completely ignorant to the use of acetylene). 

    I am also using a the "little torch" with safire lined nozzels and
    would like to know if anyone knows how well they work wen using it to
    melt. I am tying avoid attachment of two lines from my tanks and
    thought if i just used the little torch for melting and soldering
    then it would b easier. Do u think with the of acetylene i would
    yeild a better tempreture for melting as well as soldering with this
    small torch? Obviously i am looking at small quantities of metal to
    melt. 

    I would appreciate any advise anyone can give me. 

Thank you
Raakhi
