I think it's great, even if you do go through Oxy bottles if you have larger projects. I use the bronze, flux coated rods, they are easy to melt and flow well. The Propane/Oxy bottles work almost the same, but they don't get as hot when you really run them wide open, which I almost never do. I'll post this to the list since it's such a fun part of VW work.
