Lynne, that's right too
I read that same thing -- I can't remember if it was here or on WetCanvas. If you are running the oxycon, you should leave it on rather then turn it on/off/on/off.
What I've done is either just leave the torch on "between beads" or after the flame is out (P-O-O-P method) then just turn the oxy back on at the torch until I'm ready to light it again. Then it's a quick OFF while I do the propane, and back feeding the oxy to the mix after that.
Maybe I will put together a "tutorial" for oxycons too, since I know I am not the only newbie who has tons of questions about these devices.
But first, off to make more wonky beads as I practice practice practice!!
