Tig filler storage

admin

With all the different types of filler that you buy how does everyone store it? I put my little tig on a stand so I could lay the filler underneath. The biggest problem is the tubes stick out a foot. I was thinking of cutting the filler in half and shortening the tubes. But sometimes I like the long filler.I'm getting short on room in the garage. Was just wondering how everyone deals with this.mm135HTP Invertig 201 With water cooler9" Southbend LatheLots of hand tools.
