Just swapped out my 80CF cylinder today. I asked the guy at the counter and he said to expect three hours of trigger time using the 80. I am on my 3rd one for my resto, but I lost about half of a bottle because I forgot to turn the gas off once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
So, you are probably looking at about 45 min of trigger time for the 20CF. I would recommend the 80 if you have a cart. |
