wow! this thead got active lol

i know what everyone is saying about using pure argon, and to a degree i know what should be used i too have been welding a long time. this is not a new hobby for me.

rod s. i get you are a little passionate when it comes to your trade and career but the facts remain i have used argon/co2 mix with tig, as a couple have stated on this thread it works to a degree.

i will ad my logic to this, it's no gaurantee what percentage of mix gas's you get, maybe this bottle i have has way more co2 than it should, maybe it has a percentage of o2? who knows.

ozcad, i get my gas from supagas, i called them to change to argon and i have been intouch with pacific gas after getting a refill price from supagas. $143 refill price for an 'E' size bottle from pacific. $396 initial price for the first full bottle, then just refill price no rental so i am switching. thanks for heads up on that company. a friend in NSW has his own bottle but they don't cover VIC
