Any information on safety using LP Gas?
LP gas is described as having a low toxicity & low reactivity. There is an odour added to the gas to be able to detect leaks quicker. As it is heavier than air, it sinks to the ground. If you had a gas leak, remember to air the room well, preferably with window and door. Gas Suppliers offer Material Safety Data Sheets and should be able to supply legislation requirements. To test for escaping gas you can prepare very soapy water with dishwashing liquid and apply it around every connection with an old toothbrush and watch for bubbles to develop. This can happen, if the nuts are not tightened properly. Always close the gas bottle valve in the evening, as the small valves in the torch are more sensitive than the bottle valve. They would react like a water tap, which can start to drip, if they are constantly forced too tightly.
