Hi all,

I want to venture into soldering and I got myself a oxy-propane setup with smiths little torch clone.
I am unable keep the flame going for some reason, once I light it up, it will only stay on if it is facing a surface 5cm away.
As soon as I lift the torch up away from the surface it will go off. Same is happening with the big cutting torch I got as part of a kit.

Any suggetions?

Thanks in advance
Sam
