Posts: 188	Wire I am going to need some new wire. as i have been out of the loop for so long, i cnat think of what size i used to buy for general branch wiring! What is a good wire size for semi soft branches about the gague of a pencil? if i remember right, i think i used 2.0 for most of my wiring needs. At treebay, I tried to find the minimum order amount and minimum shipping costs, but came up empty. is there any? I just ened wire and screen, but dont want to have to spend $200.00 and a minimum shipping of $20 if im only buying a few ounces of wire! Any help would be great __________________ Groan Site Admin for The Great Canadian Bonsai

I buy the wire for a club of 320 people and these are the sizes we are always running out of. Good luck __________________ Keep growing,---'Nut Lethal Use of Farce

Perhaps i will email that guy with the auction and see if he will ship to canada... i just cant see paying $20 shipping on an item that weighs only a couple ounces at most. ******Oh, one other question...I seem to remember only ever using Aluminum wire with the copper coloring. Is there a big difference between that and real copper wire? I can actually get those wires from that Ebay auction, but want to know if i should just wait till i can find a good deal on Copper. Thanks again. Please Help Me! __________________ Groan Site Admin for The Great Canadian Bonsai** Last edited by groan : 12-Nov-2002 at 04:34 PM.
