It looks like I'll be dusting off the credit card tonight.

The propane cutting tip I bought is a multi-piece affair. I'm sure I'll 
find something that looks right. I'll just check the return policy on 
whoever I choose to order from.

The only propane tips the local welding shop carries are cutting tips.

Thanks to all for the comments. Keep it going if there's more...
