Hi Mike...can I ask...why Argon...why not "dry nitrogen"? Maybe you have an Argon gas canister for welding? .

edit:
Ah..never mind just read the SBIG frosting posts.

The reason I ask why argon?... is that dry nitrogen (not std nitrogen... it must be the dry nitrogen) is readily available. We used to use it for hermetically purging F111 instruments....back in the stone age!
