Ultra Wire

[misterbig]

Was wondering if any one has used the product ultra wire to for tying copper johns? also was wondering if there is a chart to size the wire accordingly. it comes in 4 different sizes and the instructions that i have state to size it to the fly.

 

thanks

Buy all sizes, its cheap and you'll use it. Trial and error is how I learned.

Yep speaker wire is great. Small appliance cord for 16 to 20. Those old appliance and electrical devices offer up some great ribbing.

Funny that you mention that, Christmas is when I buy my flashabou. And Craft stores are a great place to nose around in amazing sometimes what you find.
