I have used the Bunnings Argon canisters for purging my Canon 450D cooling system and camera internals. That particular camera operated inside a zip lock bag full of Argon, and worked very well.
I also have used the same gas to flood the sensor chamber in my ASI1600MM-C Version 1 camera. What I found was that putting the camera inside a plastic storage box and then putting the Argon in the box, was the risk free way of filling it up. Argon is heavier than air and will sit in a small box like a pond, so just submerge the camera to flood the compartment. I don't recommend pushing it into the camera compartment under pressure. Those dessicant pills have been known to shed dust. Obviously Chris, you would use a puffer bulb to blow out the chamber first and then check the sensor and cover glass closely before, and after filling, before buttoning it up.
