Any welders here? CO2 bottle for MIG

[PJ-Hunter]

I'm looking for a small bottle for my welder. Hoping that somebody may have an extra one that they would like to sell. I just need a small one (Q) or something like that. Here in Kremmling they are super expensive so I'm just trying to find a cheaper option.

C02 Bottles for Soda Pop Fountain Machines Work great There Not hard to find
Ask the local Quick Stop Where they get theres
You will still need a regulator for welding

Yeah, I checked into the soda fountain bottles. I can't trade those in to the hardware store for a full bottle. And to get them filled is kinda a pain. But I can trade a regular CO2/Argon bottle for just the price of the gas. Without a bottle to trade it gets spendy. Just was hoping to find a good deal. Thank for the tips

Why not use gasless wire?

flux core is awful

There you have it. Plus gas shielded MIG is cleaner and can weld aluminum. Thats what I want to do.

What, your some kind of f'n artist now huh. lol You want pure argon for mig welding aluminum, which doesn't work so well for migging steel.... and if your willing to put up with the pathetic results of migging aluminum, then I think flux core would be plenty good for you. imo

It is a spattery mess, but it welds plenty strong. Beggers can't be choosers, so to speak.

I have two welders. I wanna set one up for steel and one for aluminum. And yes, I'm an arteeest. I want the Al welder for my bike frame. It works well, just tired of using my brothers welder. And the steel welder will be used to make some rails and bumpers for my Jeep. I kinda want those welds to be nice.
