[AT] OT: Welding with LP ?

[Stuart Harner]

I know this has been discussed in the past, but the archives are not letting me do a search, so I will ask.

I have an Oxy/Acet. set up, but my Acet. tank went dry (with the valve tightly closed) and I am tired of the hassle of getting it filled.  I remember some members use LP instead. 

What is needed to convert to LP?  I know the Acet. regulator will screw into the LP tank, I tried it.  However, I could not get much of a flame and when I cranked up the pressure it just blew the fire out from the tip.  I tried a small tip and a cutting tip, same thing.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stuart
