Welding Tank Refill
I have used the whole freaking tank of Welder shielding gas I got from Zilla - used a whole roll of wire too!
Question: Where should I go get this welding tank filled?
Any chance they are open on Saturday mornings?

Re: Welding Tank Refill
Lincoln 140 MIG and it is amazing. Cannot believe someone who never welded is puting down some OK beads.

Re: Welding Tank Refill
Have you played with flux-core wire yet? It's a tad bit messier but you don't have to deal with gas at all.

Re: Welding Tank Refill
My welder came with a roll of Flux but had not tried it yet. If I couldn't get my tank filled on a Saturday, I definitely would have tried it. I am toying with selling it after making my rear seat bracket in the next month or so. I do not see using it after my Truck is completed.

Re: Welding Tank Refill
As an addition, Airgas is a pretty good place to deal with on welding supplies.
You thinking about selling your welder or the flux-core wire? Don't sell the welder, they are sooo handy for a lot of things.
I just "graduated" from flux-core wire to using gas and I prefer the gas myself. Make sure you shut the tank valve off when not in use...that's an expensive mistake.

Re: Welding Tank Refill
I am not sure I will use the welder after next month but who knows. I am guilty of leaving the tank open overnight or longer - that is half the reason I needed to fill the tank. I have not forgot since

Re: Welding Tank Refill
Is that because of the splatter?
