All I know is it was cheap and my details was on a post it note
My friend was quote 180 for a co2 argon mix from the same place.
Maybe he just liked my voice
I use co2 as it was recommended to me by my good friend who is a
brilliant / very experienced fabricator. As its better for shitty car metal as its hotter Weld.
But suzuki panels are very thin So can be a bit to much ffor outter
Panel work.

Re: welding gas
I think when the time comes I'm gonna get a hobbyweld Argon/CO2 bottle. Bit expensive to start with but only £30 a refill and.convenient. Especially as the stockist is also a superb motor factors!

Re: welding gas
A mate who is a pro welder rents from BOC but he says it's bloody expensive. Probably why I don't use his welding services anymore
If it ticks over...leave it

Re: welding gas
Think the weld is 93% argon, 5%CO2, and 2% O2, from what.I've read should be ideal for body panels.ScottieJ wrote:That is just c02, you'll get much better welds with an argon mixdazerede wrote:I use pub gas as it is free for me

Re: welding gas
2% 02? i thought the point of using welding gas is so that there is no oxygen?!
