I spent a lot of time in jewelry-makign classes in high school, and am hoping to apply my knowledge to slightly more practical applications - specifically, silver soldering various things together. I am, however, at a bit of a loss as to how I might do this without spending an arm and a leg - MAPP gas isn't hot enough, my mini-size oxy-mapp torch can run through $8 worth of oxygen in no time (and doesn't fit the cylinders I bought at Home Depotfor some inexplicable reason), and anything bigger is simply too big and too expensive for someone on my budget. Does anyone know of an unusually hot-burning MAPP torch or some other solution to my problem? Perhaps a torch using compressed air instead of oxygen?
