I looked, and there they were. Right where they said they'd be. Needs more sparks, though. Not enough colors.

That might do it. I was also considering what kind of ground up metal filings you might want to stuff inside that tube for a good sparkler effect. A little copper, a dash of molybdenum, some sodium, if you're a real man, a bit of zinc, and maybe break out the oxygen bottle, respirator, and protective suit and gloves ... then add a dash of cadmium and beryllium.

Odd, I've never associated zinc with manhood . . . .
He has an argon tank on the welding rack . . . is that flammable?
Only one way to tell. Cut it in half with that plasma torch. Say, got any propane tanks layin' about?
Just don't breathe the vapo(u)rs or it will cut yours short ... and the rest of the living cells in your body, too. A little bit, taken as an organic element in food is very good for you. Breathing fumes containing the stuff is very much otherwise.
There's one sure way to find out ...
Ah!
I long for the olden days when metals were metals, and gasses were gasses.
I blew one with a M-16 a long time ago . . . darned things are a bit too 'spensive to be used a targets these days
No, not only non-flammable, inert as well. Used as a shielding gas instead of flux. Will still go *boom* just from being highly compressed....
If your in the US, should be lots of them with the old style valves for cheep. Costs as much for just the valve as a complete new tank.
Oh! It makes for a clean weld, right?
Everything seems to have gone to Insto-Replaceo "Rhino"-esque tanks.
Yes, no slag to chip.
Hmm, using argon to purge a propane tank. Message-ID:
Hey Billy Bagwell (sorry, it reminds me of a Hobbit), how is it you are familiar with metal working? I just always pictured you as a guy with a pocket protecter and a lap-top under your arm.
Yes!
I'll stick to brick.
