Hi John,

    Thanks for the kind words! Always appreciated! 

    Sorry for the delay in response---I'm traveling a lot lately---just
    visited family, and now teaching in New Smyrna Beach, FL, so I'm
    having a hard time keeping up with Orchid.... 

    Part of the reason you are confused is that all the gases work, and
    they each have advantages and disadvantages, which have been
    discussed previously. So, this is my personal opinion: I am
    accustomed to acetylene, and I do prefer it to propane. Since it does
    not get as hot, I recommend oxy-acetylene. If you are fusing, there
    are times that the oxy-propane does not get hot enough for my taste.
    I tried to use an oxy-propane Little Torch in a workshop once, and it
    was ok for small things, but not for larger ones.
