Tangoman Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Did you do a punctuation course as well? (edited for punctuatio, grammar and spelling! i'll get my coat) No I didn't, James. Unfortunately, I've been busy organising the scrapyard outside my back door. But now I know the Punctuation Police are patrolling this forum, I'll spend more time on my posts. However, this may not leave much time for working other people's vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangoman Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 and to explAIN itohh it's nice to get my own back on you for once! Here we go again. In the last post I repeated the joke...and wrote it in KAPITOLS to highlight it! (Geddit??) Never mind, it wasn't that funny to begin with. Let's forget it. And I'm going back to my previous much quicker form of writing no punctuation no problem well no problem for me anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 which gases are recommended? I've always used CO2 from the brewery suppliers Works fine for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 along with decent welding kitwhich gases are recommended? Argoshield from BOC for mild, £29 for a refill on a Y size tank and about £3 a week rental, all you need is a bit of paperwork and you can shy away from pub gas, pure argon for titanium and ally is a little bit more expensive, single stage regulators are a waste of money (IMO) saphire being my fave, get a bottle key instead of using the tap style bottles as BOC is phasing out the "tap" style as they leak leaving you with a garage full of argon when you really need it still in the bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
