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 ?

I used an old CO2 fire extinguisher. Worked fine for me.

Im after an argon cylinder for my TIG, so ill be watching this thread with eagerness!

Halfords.

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
Darren

I use adam gas, no rental etc, just a deposit. On my first bottle after 18 months plus...

And they ship them in the post

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.
