was going to say, a true welding god would have stopped when it sounded different and didn't look right through the welding mask
to be honest, I did notice the difference in noise but foolishly carried on regardless. .
did not occur that the gas would run out so soon!!! 
now need to grind that out and redo after a visit of halford.

halfords prices have gone up a lot £16 for a small disposable co2 bottle now... if you can wait for delivery, or get to machine mart, get one there
I use a big bottle from BOC, those CO2 ones from Halfords are tiny

i never had a problem with the disposable gas. had my welder for about 3 years, only had 1 run out. i've welded loads with it. i think everyone turns the gas up too high

Same her after i realised my welder wasnt leaking gas it was that the bottles were so s**t.
One of halfrauds bottles used to last about 30 mins tops, £50 per yaer contract with BOC and each bottle lasts about a year
