[TheForge] oxy-propylene

[Bruce Freeman]

Oops. 
I just reread the subject line and the original message.
That was propYLENE, not propANE under discusion.  Propylene burns hotter than propane.  I can't speak for its suitability for welding.

Oxy-Propane?  It is cheaper for the propane, but more difficult to cut and
weld with.  I have not used it, so I can't speak from experience.

Greetings all

I am considering switching to oxy-propylene (supposedly is cheaper and
will last longer)  - I use the torches for cutting and spot heating only.
Any opinions?
