Where is the cheapest place to get some 80-20 argon mix from cheapest I have found it is £50 rent £58 fill that's delivered to my work. Tried co2 but found that the is a lot of splatter wiv my 151 Sealy welder

There is a thread on this forum with loads of supplies around the UK, worth a look i reckon

I used Co2 for years and found it good enough with my clarke 151t. maybe adjust the flow rate and see what you get.

I have hobby weld, they do 5 or 15 for thick or thin steel. No rental, about £50 deposit and about £30 fill up from memory. I preferred boc argoshield but a small boc bottle lasted me 2 years so I just couldn't justify the cost. You get about twice as much in a boc bottle.
