[AT] OT: Welding with LP ?

[Kevin]

The tip is what needs to be for propane, that is all we have ever used. And 
brazing - welding can be done  just as well with acetylene or lp. And it is 
a good idea to get 2-3 tips as you will want a big one to burn heavy stuff 
and small for everyday use to conserve oxygen. And if you dont abuse them 
they will last forever.

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
