Cool National 8M with SM7 Tip - setting up

Hi all, Me again

Ive been spending loadsa money this last couple of weeks - DOH is just about handling it

Ive gotten myself a National 8M torch with SM7 tips -

Ive been using a hothead on MAPP cannisters and getting annoyed with it going out when cannister got too cold and with how long it was taking to get some of the clear colours to melt & encase... Oh and running out of gas mid bead!

So I read lots of threads mainly positive re 8M and saw one on ebay - and won it...

Now I wondered any National 8M'mrs out there? How did you set yours up?

I'l need to use propane and oxygen? - Tanked or Oxycon?

Ive got a 6lb propane bottle (used for our camping stove) will this do the job?

Also safety concious ideas will be really appreciated..

Please help - Ill send you a pressie
Maz
