19 forum posts 4 photos	I am looking for small quantities of stainless steel mesh, say 150mm x 150mm. I found a company on the internet that makes mesh but sells it in huge rolls o 100m or more. I am looking for a plain woven mesh listed on this companies web site as #20 and #40, which I think represents the number of threads per inch. Any ideas? Eddie Price

19 forum posts 4 photos	Thanks Jason. I had a look and found it. I am having a problem with a gas poker type burner for a single flue type boiler in a 16mm steam train. I found a reference in an American steam train forum which suggested wrapping some ss mesh around the poker to create a radiant heater rather than the simple blue gas flame. It was much more efficient at raising steam. I would like to try it. Eddie Price

Various mesh sizes up to 100 in stock, others available to order). Listed on the site under "stainless gauze".

126 forum posts 11 photos	Strange, as their site was working last night when I tried it, and Googling J A Crew brings up their site straight away. My link didn't work out for some reason - try www.jacrew.net A bit late now as you have already ordered, but it is worth a look around their site as I have found some useful 'odds and ends' on there in the past. A nice chap to deal with as well Anthony Edited By LADmachining on 10/07/2010 11:35:22

19 forum posts 4 photos	Hi Anthony Funny that. I also Googled but could not access the site that was listed. But I have just tried again with the address you gave and found a site which I can't access because it is only suitable for Internet Explorer and I am using Mozilla Firefox. However I did get a telephone number from a Model Engineer Index, and I rang them Monday and ordered some mesh. So I should end up with a selection of different meshes, which will enable me to experiment. J A Crew has been bought up by some else - I didn't catch his name, but he builds 71/4 gauge locos. Thanks again. Eddie
