Another artist who used to frequent here found that the location you purchase the propane from can make a difference. If you are trying to bring up the metals, a "dirty" propane can be more effective. Places that don't turn over their product as often are the best places to buy.

Funny...... I have 3 places to get propane and I will only use the one place because I have seen sparks going through the torch from the other 2 places. Dirt!!! I want it clean. I did a lot of gas grill cooking to get rid of the propane when I saw the sparks in the flame from the torch. I am so picky.
I have torched with Butane and I got some wonderful reduction on my silver glass with butane. It is a very dirty fuel. Maybe I need to rethink the dirty propane???? I used butane when I was torching in Israel since propane is not easy to get.
