    On mine, the sapphire lined nozzles are the smallest and not
    suitable to melting a very large amount. There is a tendency to melt
    the metal where the flame hits while the rest returns to the plastic
    stage even when moving around. For mine you would need to use one of
    the larger tips, but the little torch would work well for 'small'
    amounts. Not knowing which torch you are using, there are other tips
    available which I suspect could melt as much as an ounce or two. 

    Changing from LPG to Acetylene will require you change your fuel
    hose and buy another regulator for the acetylene, also, purchase a
    flashback arrestor for the fuel line. 

    Hope this was in line with the information you needed.
