gills

Anyway... back to the scratches. Have you tried any of the suggested methods yet?

Thanks Navarre I'll ask about secondry valve when I pick up cylinder, isn't that what a regulators for tho? How does it prolong cylinder life? Gills

Not got kids gatito? Dad was in the garage attempting to make adaptor for soda stream bottle, very ingrossed he was, kids coming and going, Can I have this dad can I have that dad and the rest as they say is history. :-?

Thanks guys for your advice. I asked a guy from Novus who was buffing a tag on a shop window, he recommended taking the tank into the work shop, easier said...(325L tank)! I must say though, at the time Ira's three step solution would've been quite appealing, lucky she's so cute and i love her so much. I'll check some other glass companies and then the Brasso. What about baking soda or Ajax "Tough on grim no harsh scratching" Barrie, you sound like you do this quite often, are you in the trade or just lots of kids? lol Thanks again

As the subject title says, a couple of swipes and ##**!!! The scratches aren't deep but noticeable. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks guys, all taken on board. Now to start saving!!

Do I really have to have a solenoid or can I just turn the cylinder valve off at night? Could I leave it on and have a timer on my air pump?

Hi everyone,called into Canterbury Cylinder Testing and my search for a cylinder is over.They do convert old extinguishers.They do three sizes and the 3.5kg ones are $220 so i've ordered one(hope i've saved the money by the time its ready LOL) Better than renting from BOC($120 a year for $15 of co2) and paying $350-$430 to ASCO orWeldwell for one thats too big.From what the guy said they do this quite often and they fill them too. One more question... do I really have to have a solenoid or can I just turn the cylinder valve off at night? Could I leave it on and have a timer on my air pump? :-?

No I haven't,But I did the yellow page check straight after I posted and found four, two of which included co2 cylinders and fire extinguishers.WAAHOOO!!! Didn't have time to ring tonight but I will tomorrow. Infact I'll be in the area of Canterbury Cylinder Testing Tomorrow. Will let you all know how I get on. CHEERS

I've been to BOC and they won't fill private bottles. I've been intouch with ASCO in Hornby (CHCH) and they sell 5kg cylinders for $350 and a firm called Weldwell sell them for around $430(trade).But these cylinders are 660mm high which is too high for my cabinet. I understood all cylinders (LPG atleast) went to BOC for testing, here in CHCH anyway.

Thanks guys, just one question, where do you get the valve from? BOC are a bit funny about privately owned co2 bottles down here.

How do I go about converting an fire extinguisher bottle for a co2 system and how much does it cost approx, does any one know. Your knowledge and input would be much appreciated. I'm looking into this as the 5kg cylinders are too tall for the cabinet, and the lady of the house won't want an ugly cylinder on show.
