Can i use it on a mig welder?

I bought a sealey 60 litre argon/Co2 which lasted a very short time and @ £23 a bottle, i haven't even started the job i needed to do ( practising ) but i can get hold of plenty of Mapp canisters through work.

Have a look here Disposable Shielding Gas Bottles for Hobby MIG Welders - Machine Mart or find a friendly pub landlord or supply place. Just picked a co2 refill this morning £11.75

This is a fooking wind up int it. ??

you do know Mapp gas is LPG either propane or butane don't ya. If ya using gas that quick turn the fooking regulator down.

Well it int no good for welding steel cos it's got an high Hydrogen content. but it needs Oxygen Bottle & oxy/acetylene torch tp do it.

Well I'm exceptionally new to this, and based on what i was told, i thought I'd ask here as I'm not sure they were talking sense.
Argon/Co2 shields the wire, Mapp is combustable, it didn't make much sense what he said, come to think of it, i reckon he was waiting for the phone call from me swearing at him....

As for turning the gas down, i did, but just kept getting spatter, i reckon the regulator is abit fooked as all i got was on full or fook all.

actually just googled it and it's methylacetylenepropadiene.

So it's for old school oxy-acet gas type welding, not gas shielding for mig.

Yeah just checked, Halfords do them for about £14 which for me is closer ( http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_207425_langId_-1_categoryId_165727 )
