I haven't torched in almost 8 days!!! (Holiday and work got in the way). OMG dreamed about torching last night, woke up hating to have to go the the dreaded day job. DH had dinner ready so I could eat and get to the hot shop. Well, for some strange reason the valve on the oxy tank is stuck. Totally seized. I tried, he tried, no way will it budge! He has lots of experience with torches and tanks and said he has never seen this happen. I will take the tank back for sure, but am wondering has anyone ever come across this problem?
This is a 120 cfm tank, and from the get go, it took all I had to open and close the valve. As I used the tank though it seemed like it was getting easier to turn, so thought maybe it just needed worked in. Now I am REALLY JONESING to torch. :cry:
