Anyone know where I can get a bottle of Argoshield for a bit if Migging? Looking at the bigger bottles rather than the disposables, I know there's a deal through VZi but was checking for a local supply/experience first.

Anyone?

The current VZi deal is through BOC and gives this:
It is for Argoshield Light Gas (a mix of argon co2 and oxygen)

Cylinder size (20 litre water capacity)
filled to 230 Bar Pressure
40kg approx
4.8 m3 of gas (4800Litres)

£ 25.54 per refill for gas
£ 35.77 rental for 1 year (refundable pro rata if cylinder is returned early)

total for 1st cylinder £ 61.31 all in

I did a quick look on the internet and there are deals with smaller refillable bottles that work out a similar price, and I'm not sure if you have to rent out the bottle every year, so I thought I'd check for local supplies before signing up. that said, I've not been through to Elliots in Bar Hill yet. Is the above BOC deal a good price?

why argoshield light? i would rather use argoshield heavy, keeps the welds cooler, and as most of the people on VZI will be welding cars and stuff that has to be beneficial
