For those of you who use oxygen/acetylene to melt your gold/sliver/etc...
do you have any preference as to what type of tip to use on the torch, such as a cutting tip, brazing tip, or heating tip?
I was planning on using a cutting tip on my oxygen/acetylene torch to melt gold and silver since I am accustom to the cutting torch.
I have access to several brazing torch tips and also a heating torch tip that I could use but I do not have experience with brazing so have never used one.
I am sure there is a difference in the amount of heat produced and oxygen/acetylene used by each but as I said I am not familiar with brazing. I think the brazing tip does not burn as hot but still high enough to meet the melting point for gold and silver.
Does anyone care to share if they have preference and why?
Thanks.
