SanJuanWorm Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Buy all sizes, its cheap and you'll use it. Trial and error is how I learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small appliance cord for 16 to 20. Those old appliance and electrical devices offer up some great ribbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
