Propane, Mapp, MAP-Pro, propylene... all have their quirks....

All require finding sweet spot in flame where temperature is best and where there is total fuel /air combustion for cleanest flame.... Also each fuel has its own peculiar set of "problems" that some expierence and others do not.... Its kind of a toss up...

Going to a propane/oxygen system pretty much eliminates the variables that a fuel torch (hot head) has because you have a lot more control over fuel and oxygen to produce the flame type you desire (neutral-oxidizing-reducing)...
