Choosing the right MIG shielding mix matters for clean beads on Cornwall farm repairs, trailer builds and workshop fabrication. Hobbyweld 5 and Hobbyweld 15 cover different jobs — Gas Shack stocks both live from Padstow.
Pick the mix for the metal and process you weld most, then keep a second cylinder on rotation so a busy week never stops mid-job.
Hobbyweld 5 or Hobbyweld 15?
Hobbyweld 5 is a popular all-rounder for thinner mild steel MIG work. Hobbyweld 15 suits thicker sections where a richer CO2 mix helps penetration. For TIG and non-ferrous work, browse our live Argon. Cutting and heating jobs may need Oxygen with Acetylene.
Tell us your torch and plate thickness when you get in touch. You can also order gas online for collection or delivery across Cornwall.
