The thinest that deansmarine put In there kits.. Probably a 0.5 mm cold pulled to about 0.3mm Your next question is probably what is cold pulled...! Brass wire can be pulled longer which means that it also gets thinner... One end of the brass wire trapped in a vice, the other end wrapped around a rod so you can pull the wire without cutting into your hands...

What size is the brass rod that you use? I'll give your way a go and report back. Phil Posted by: colin« on: 15 July 2020, 06:23:49 »Morning Phil

Many thanks Phil |
