More economical welding gas

[mbcamper]

Having done a partial restoration of my van 8 years ago it is going to need some additional panel work which didn't need attention at the time.  The last time I did this I was using those disposable gas bottles for my MIG welder like this https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/co2-gas-cylinder-600g/

Before I go down the same route, is there a more economical way of buying my inert gas without rental contracts?

Thanks!

might need an adaptor/ different regulator for your welder

Thanks - that's the kind of thing I was looking for.  There is even an agent nearby.

Very economical it is too. Just swapped my hobby weld 5 cylinder for a new one for £38. Very reasonable. Just remember to turn it off when not using...

I bought a large bottle from my local DIY store, I don't know if can do that in the UK though.

It cost 200€ and a refill costs about 35 €. We did two vans on one fill.

Ritchies gas 5 minutes up the road from you does hobby weld gas.

Another thumbs up for Hobbyweld.  Was gobsmacked when I found we had an agent right here in sleepy little ol' Dunoon!

Sounds like it's worth getting. I dont have any gas at the mo for welding so might look into this!
