Sorry, I should have qualified my statement about torches and
lampwork glass.
You cannot use an oxy/acet. set up to do lampwork. The acet. will
create dirt/dust that will be incorporated into the glass as you are
working it.
You can indeed produce smaller scale pieces with a propane or
propane/oxy set-up. If you want to do larger beads or sculptural
works you are better off with a torch specifically designed for that
purpose.
Also, if your jewelry torch is single fuel, you will only be able to
work stained glass or Italian/Czech/Japanese glass. If you wish to
work in hard/Boro glass you will need a propane/oxy set-up. Propane
alone will not be hot enough to get the job done.
Cheers-
