Gas Supplies in Essex

[UncleSatan]

Hello, I'm new to this forum and to welding, I've already found quite few pointers on this site.

I've bought a gasless MIG from Machine Mart, but have found that using the gasless wire is really making it hard to learn to weld properly. The ultimate goal of learning to weld properly is to restore and modify my project bike, then go onto others.

So I've decided to go over to gas, now I spent most of last night trawling through this forum and made a few phone calls this morning and it's seems my choices are:

BOC
Adams gas
Air products

They all seem pretty swings and round abouts to me; I travel past BOC & Air Products on my way to work so if I went with Adams Gas what I'd save on bottle rental I'd lose on refills.

So my question is does anyone know of any local suppliers of CO2, Argon Mix near the Harlow Essex area? As google wont tell me


NB: I'm not after pub gas or filling an old fish tank with argon

Check if there's an air liquide agent near you. Refils will be much the same as BOC (although I think AL actually own BOC now) and AP, rentals should be cheaper.

Fingers99, nearest Air Liquide is in Cambridge so that's not too far away.
