try a welding supply shop or motor factors that sell portable welding

I get small containers of co2 off a small home welding kit I use this for euthanasia of cockerels as nobody wants cockerels

ill bet they do the same small disposable containers for O2

peter yes your right but the rental on a bottle is horrendous if they will supply they don't like supplying domestic residence

I thought for the odd occasion the disposable would be better save jumping through H&S hoops

but you may be right

I use hobby weld

You pay a (refundable) deposit on the bottle and for refills but importantly, there is NO annual rental fee
