Nope, that gas is too dirty for working glass. I have heard of people who have tried it, but I haven't heard of anybody who has used it successfully. Of course there is probably someone out there who has been able to make it work, but I wouldn't mess with it. Hey, better leave your hubby's toys alone or he may decided to invade your glass space and use you glass torch for fixing the care one day.
