Den Moran Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Does anyone know where I can buy one metre lengths of 1.5mm mild steel rod, please? P.S. Thanks, Pete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan W Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Steel welding rod is typically 1.6mm diameter and easy to bend, if that is close enough for you? Just do a google search or ebay and you will find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm asking here,Jon. Thanks, Den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy48 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 B&Q or Wickes sell mild steel rod, but why not use carbon fibre rod from a model shop. Much lighter and stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan W Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 You can get welding rod in 1 metre lengths, but you might need to find a local welding shop to only sell you a few pieces instead of a whole bundle as here ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Moran Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thank you, Andy, I normally buy them from my local model shop, but its closed during the epidemic - hence the request for a supplier online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
