Need Help Finding Some Butane

[jdnet]

Ok guys,

So I went to almost every tool and electrical shop I could think of in hopes to find some butane to refil my soldering iron but came up short. Basically I'm looking for any leads on places I could find some. If you guys know anywhere or a shop that even refills butane lighters (jet lighters) please let me know. Using the lectrical soldering iron inside the car is really time consuming and has a lot of limitations......

Thanks.

This is the stuff I used to buy in the U.S. but I don't think you would be able to find it here anyway.

Oh I did not know about that. As long as it's butane it should work for me. I'll drop by there tomorow. Thanks for the heads up buddy.

Actually not easy to find the stuff. Zippo won't work as its not pressurized. Have been looking for some myself to refill my portable heat gun but not easy to come across the stuff. Can't seem to locate the old petty kade's that used to refill gas lighters a long time ago and supermarkets don't carry the pressurized fluid refills anymore. Would anyone know any shops in Maligawatte that may have them ?

Cheers,

Did you try Main street ? i know some guys buy toluene and stuff there, you might find butane as well.

There's a shop at Liberty Plaza that sells the butane cans for lighters, not Zippo branded though. Can't recall the name of the place but it's on the ground floor and in a corner.
