    Helen....the reason you can maybe solder part of a job with the
    butane is....the metal is clean and the flux fresh and working. The
    longer you heat it....the dirtier things become....the flux burns
    off, crystalizes, the metal oxidizes and things really get messy.
    Much of it you can see...but much you cannot. To get the remainder
    to work, you would have to quench, pickle, clean it all up and start
    again. The larger torch will allow you to adjust your flame and you
    can get in, heat, flow and get out. 

Cheers from Don in SOFL.
