Welding gas for mig
Wondering if anyone can recommend a supply for welding gas in the east london -romford area. Prefer not to rent a bottle, adams gas is in kent might
work, but the are in the further end of kent.
Prefer an argon, or argon mix, if not i`ll go for CO2.
Thanks

If it's for mild steel pure argon is evil, use mixed or CO2.
Have you a Key Gas nearby ?

Should have said, larger that the normal disposible bottles.
Don`t think there is a key gas but will look.
It is a bit annoying having a propper mig, but making poor welds due to trying to keep the gas flow at the bare minimum.
I get good welds with argon, possibly due to using high current (about 100A).
Makeeverything - how long did the co2 extinguisher work for?
Thanks

I can get it sent to my friends house in kent, then i either collect when the are over here or I visit.
Just wondering if there was an easier option.
They say it contains 13 times a normal disposable, I bet it is more than that.
