CO2 bottle thickness .........

[grandads_shed]

just wondering what the thickness of a co2 bottle is ??
its one of those that stands about 3feet tall.
i am thinking of cutting it in half so that i can use the bottom to melt alloy in .

thanks m8 , that is well thick enough ,, will have to emty it and get the plazma out.

 

[shed or dead]

I'm sure (or I certainly hope) you've heard all the horror stories about residual gas.

I believe the trick is to fill with water and leave to sit for a while, before emptying, and then cutting. Probably best to search old posts unless you're familiar with this.

Stay safe.
