mig gas

[spanners]

anybody know a source of mig welding gas in north lincolnshire preferably a cash sale job
as my cyl is empty and the contract its on is up for renewal and i hardly use much these days (this cyl has lasted over twelve months)
the renewal cost has gone through the roof again!!!!!!! and i dont want to pay it

if i dont find the gas i may aswell sell the mig set and ,,,give up,,,,

im also far to tight to pay for argosheild so i give the local pub £5 and swap my accomaderd empty for a full it does the job just turn the reg down so you dont get loads of splatter

Just handed back my BOC Aronshield bottle cos the annual rental has gone up to 88 quid -plus about 50 quid every time I refill the bottle. There are several companies offering rent free contracts now, so when I start welding again regularly I'll find another supplier.

ENERGAS put there,s up  to over £100 a year and  £65 a refill  its up for renewal  ,,hence  they can ,,stuff,, it 

just didnt want to run out this week when moneys so tight 




P.S. checked up on the  ,ALBEE, rent free cyl,s  they start at £165 and go upto £199  depending on youre local stockist (its a franchise thing) and refill price,s differ too,,

looking into ,,,HOBBYWELD,, at the mo..

If its mild steel, or mild steel alloys your welding use straight CO2, it does the job admirably, and is very inexpensive to buy. I get mine as a refill/exchange from a local general bottle gas supplier, who does Propane, Butane, etc. for general industrial and domestic use, must be one similar near you, £12/14-ish, Morrag
