Hey! A propane torch with compressed or even room air is certainly doable, but it's going to take forever. Most bottle glass is lower COE than the typical 104 sodium glass used to make beads. Even with a propane/oxy torch, it's going to be slower going than making things out of 104. If time is not a factor, a Hot Head torch is your go-to for inexpensive and getting the job done. I think you can still get them for around $40 or so. It's going to burn quite a bit hotter than a regular plumber's torch.
