Why am I avoiding any method that requires acetylene? It's so useful!
Unfortunately the only place I have to use this torch is at home. And there are two VERY STRONG reasons why it's a bad idea to use acetylene in a residence:
Your local fire marshal will probably have regulations prohibiting this, or at least they will strongly disapprove of using it in a residence.
If you're honest with your home insurance provider, they will terminate your coverage immediately.
Also, of course, it's objectively a dangerous thing to do. [1][2]
