gas

almost used a whole tank, only had the tig 8 days.... so far have a bunch of welds on scrap to show for it, oh and my tungsten grinder jig, gotta do something before it runs out or i'll feel useless heh, not getting another adams gas cylinder thats for sure £45 +vat a fill, and you only get 1200l or 120mins tig welding, going for a BOC W next time, 11710l thats more like it... at least i can tig weld now to a standard i can use on some projects, with out absolutely everything ending up as scrap that is

The W bottle is by far the best way to buy gas, Just awkward to get home.
Also some BOC places won't let you collect a W bottle unless your vehicle has the required green diamond stickers on it.

yeah i worked it out that even if i only used the equivalent of 2 adams gas cylinders a year, i'd still save money, or at least brake even, the rental on the Y has gone up so much since i got them for my o/a that it looks almost worth while getting a W oxy and losing the acetylen for propane, though if they get out of sync in refills it would be expensive to fill just the oxy, so i'll probably leave that, and just fill it whenever i get argon, very complex working out the cheapest way to get gas :|

is the sticker just a sticker i can buy? print and stick in the window, or do i have to have some kind of test? :/ i'm guessing just a warning sticker though yeah?

This is the sort of sign/sticker.
The magnetic ones are good just stick it on the back of your vehicle when you carry the bottle.
I think Boc sell them at their outlets.
