tungstenjeff Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Has anyone ever tried or heard of anyone trying stainless steel wool for wicking an rba?? I came across some at work,and was thinking about trying it.
Bebop Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Dude. Dont do it. That stuff will burn up in a second. If you"re joking then.......ya got me!
Compenstine Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 You would have an issue with shorts. I know people use SS mesh for wicking, but the when you role them, you need to make sure there are no loose fray (strands) that can cause a short. The only reason the mesh works is it does have some wicking ability because of weave. I would not risk my equipment on a ss wool.
tungstenjeff Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks. That's why I didn't just try it.I thought it might burn up.
Bebop Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 SS mesh should not be confused with common steel wool.
Bebop Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Shoot now that i'm re reading I may have thought you meant steel wool....my bad
tungstenjeff Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 I do know the difference. Im using mesh now, just looking for something better. I think I'm going to try sst cable.
