Empty disposable gas bottles wanted please (Cambridge area)

[Mike Rudin]

I've been using some empty disposable CO2/Argon bottles as air reservoirs for an amateur theatre project, but I'm looking for about nine more!

If anyone has some empties lying around they don't need, please get in touch.

If you're curious, this is for pneumatically operating retractable wheels on some theatre 'trucks', i.e. the platforms you move set around on. The disposable bottles neatly fit in the 3" clearance under the truck.

Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike, Welcome to the forum

With respect, disposable cylinders are designed to be disposed of rather than re-pressurized.

They are made from relatively cheap/thin material and will corrode from the inside especially when empty. I would therefore urge you to consider an alternative option for the safety of your cast.

There is a huge wealth of knowledge among the lads & lasses on here so if you have any info or images of what you are hoping to achieve I'm sure someone can help.

All the best.
