[Space] balloons!

[Samuel Coniglio]

There is also Atlas Welding Supply.  I've been told they are a bit less
expensive.  The lease out gas tanks of different sizes.  They sell gauges
and other welding items too.  Located about two blocks from Airgas.

*I learned about them while building my CosmoBot drinkbot. *
