If you have problems getting acetylene just use your gas grill bottle. Your acetylene regulator will screw right into it and then go to the welding supply house and get a propane tip for your torch. It is not quite as hot as acetylene but works fine for hobby people. I just had to do this and am thinking about leaving it that way as it is cheaper all the way around as I usually spend more on bottle rent than gas.
