I am wanting to buy some malleable 3mm mild steel wire for detail grid work on my sculptures. All I can find is galvanised. Would this work with MIG or does the galvanising lead to a brittle weld?
+1 for FH Brundle, I get most of my sculpture metal from them, also have a look at their fancy bar as an add on purchase, embossed with a tree bark sort of texture - great for flower stems :-)
I avoid the galvanised / plated stuff, apart from the health issues it makes a mess, if I have to use some it goes In vinegar for a day first.
