Ok so ive been given a couple gas bottles which ive now got all the pressure out of.
Im having a bit of trouble removing the valve on top.
It has a white paste on the thread which I guess is to stop them coming out.
So has any one got any ideas or is it just brute force.
Also which way are they threaded im sure I read some where they are opposite?
Cheers in advance

Ive always found, if something wont budge that should, hit it with a very big hammer
Does same rule apply when she refuses to make a cuppa lol
Angle grinder with good cutting diss,you should not need to take the valve off it will still be on the bit you cut off
I thought I would have to remove it to fill the bottle wiith water?
Best way is to cut it off with a hacksaw, as its brass it won't cause any sparks! Then fill the bottle with water and leave for a day or so. I have made loads of gas bottle chimineas and have never had a prob. Of course you do this at your own risk!
What coal should be used.

Depends mate, what are you doing with the bottle?! Forge? Bbq? Chiminea?
What he said - that's the way I did it too when I made a BBQ with one (cut vertically in half once filled with water).Originally Posted by Big T
Well one of them is gonna be a bbq.
But I was wandering what coal for the forge
