    Kees, yes, it was a cutting torch. I use propane instead
    of acetylene, and had it adjusted to a "lazy" flame,
    so as not too hot. Otherwise, all I have use is a
    too small brazing tip.
    Perhaps I should see if the tank still mounts on the
    power head before I to any finishing work on the
    tank.
    The top of the tank was pretty decent as far as dents.
    The vise kept the flat top from "bulging out" from the
    air pressure. Not sure the magic number as far as
    air pressure. All I know is that too much might be bad. 😮
    I would think air pressure would be a variable depending
    on the design and shape of the tank.
    Thanks!
