Daan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Lads, I have a question for the welding stig or anyone else who has experience in the subject: I bought a mig welder some time ago, complete with a 200 litre bottle of gas. Off course, the gas has run out and now it needs a refill. Where can I take it for a refill, without anyone getting exited about me signing hire contracts and the like. I think i would be able to last a year with a bottle with the amount of welding i do and i am not keen on paying rent for something I dont use a lot.

Paul Humphreys Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 What I did was hire a bottle for 2 weeks, then take the empty one back. Keep the full one and pay no rental Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Spot Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Try to get all your mates onto one make and size of borrowed bottles, open an account for the correct size, fill all the bottles and then remember to close the account as they are very often on direct debit rental. Scrapmen will sometimes exchange bottles for beer tokens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
