Looks like its been cut in half with a gas torch :shock:


Acetylene cylinders are filled with a porous material, not sure what it is, it is there to absorb the acetone/aceylene mixture. Without it the cylinders would be very dangerous. :lol:

This is what could happen :lol:

Kapox, acetone is absorbed by the kapox and the acetylene is disolved in the acetone Open the valve, acetylene is released, the acetone is retained by the kapox

Kapok is wonderful stuff, not only for filling teddy bears. :-)
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

I live in Portugal where barbeques are made from butane cylinders split lengthways, drilled for airways, with legs welded on! I kid you not. But they are painted in a chic ultra modern black!
Come and visit, the beers are on me!
