Phil Hancock Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Tried it once, the weld fizzed and was like an Aero bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl hurst Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hello, Acetylene burns much hotter than propane as is more pure,propane is ok for cutting/heating, Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
