    If you're getting "floaties" when you light your Oxy/acetylene torch,
    it's probably one of two things. Increase the Oxygen pressure on your
    regulator if you can't get a clean flame on your torch with the Ox
    turned on. If this doesn't work replace the Oxygen regulator (a cheap
    fix). If you are using a mini-torch, tips #1 through #4 won't soot on
    lighting (even with just acetylene on), the largest (#5) will, so add
    a little Oxygen on lighting. I use a #4 tip for most jewelry work.
    I've used Oxy/Acet. for many years. If you're a multi-tasker like me,
    you'll appreciate the wide temperature range for use on both gold and
    platinum. Hope this helps,
