Does anyone know if Screwfix Direct sell Mapp gas? I can't find any in my local B & Q.
Or does anywhere else do? :)
They don't anymore. Do you have a Plumb Centre close to you? They may.

They do a 'Roth' Mapp Gas Cylinder - would I be able to use that? It's so expensive!

That's it I'm afraid. It is expensive :(

Planning to but need to sell enough jewellery and beads to raise the £100 or so for the bulks setup kit from Martin first!!
:(
Try searching for Mapp gas on Froogle (Google products) - I used to use Hamilton gas http://www.gasproducts.co.uk (http://www.gasproducts.co.uk) (its listed under gas products) who I found this way.
Yay I found some!
In case anyone else local to my area is hunting, the best place is Pipeline Centre at Bankhead Crosscauseway - they sell it for £10.90 a canister :)
Off to get some this weekend! Spent my bulk setup money on glass lol so it will be another month or so before I go onto propane.
b&Q do propane (blue cannister) which is slower but cheaper
I've just sourced the parts for a bulk setup it works out to about £30.00 and £10 of that is post :o because the parts have to come from two different places :( if you are interested I'll PM you the details 8)
Mike ;D
If you do a search for bulk propane on FH you will find the details I posted earlier in the year :D
Hi
I want to get the conversion kit for bulk propane for my hothead, just cant approd to keep buying MAPP, can you give me the details as I don't seem to be able to find them. Many thanks Nikki
If you want to get the kit in one go you need to look at www.tuffnellglass.com
Hi

The kit is a bit expensive. I have managed to find all the parts at my local calor gas supplier for around £40, just need to find a gas bottle so I don't need to pay for one.
