Argon in disposable cylinder is about $39 at Bunnings. I saw one there this afternoon in the Tool shop when looking for something else. Just ask the guys. You'll have to buy a cheap screw in valve assembly too - I just put the plastic pipe up against the camera.
Putting the camera in a large bag with desiccant for storage is something I used to do too. Leaving the barrel on just seems to make more sense rather than having it sit in the box  |
Hi Rob,
Thanks for that.
OK - so I'll check the desiccant in about a week & see if it has swollen.
Great news that Bunnings has cans of argon.
I already have 2 little adaptor screws in the same bag that the barrel was supplied in.
Hopefully the Bunnings argon is free of water.
Some good tips - thanks.
cheers
Allan
