I have just found out that my UK supply of bottles is ending.
I use gas because most of my stuff has nooks and crannies to weld in. What is an alternative for use on 3mm mild steel as MIG isn't perfect
(welds a bit messy).
Do they still do the gas/compressor rigs I used at school?
Well if you are a good gas welder there's only Tig, as you use both hands one for the torch and the other for filler wire, and its a very high qualitiy weld..
halfords disposables?
If you only do odds and sods they last for ages and only about £15 a time. Easy to get bring over (or get friends/relatives to bring them over) as
they only the size of 1l bottle.

Air Liquide do small cylinders presumably they could supply in France.
I seem to remember you have to sign a long lease at Air Liquide, something like 10 years
Check your local motor factor, many can supply acetelyn and oxygen in rent free 10 lt bottles, deposit is around £70 ++vat . The gas is more lex pensive but for small volume users it works out a lot cheaper. The Migwelding forum might be worth a look as well
