[TheForge] oxy-propylene

[Jerry Frost]

I have used oxy propane conversion torches of a couple 
different manufactures and can say from personal 
experience they don't work as well as the same rig 
burning oxy acet. It takes more than just changing the 
tip to make propane work properly.

I don't make anything on All-States torches I just have 
one.
