Hey guys,

Perhaps look at stainless fishing trace wire (not the multi-strand stuff).


Hey Spuckle,

IIRC insect mounting pins were quite thin some 60 years ago. I just
checked the soft iron wire from the price tags on turkeys, but it's
just under 18 thou., real easy to pull straight though.

Hey Gerry,

Pins still are thin....I've ordered some stainless steel 10 and 12
thou insect mounting pins, I'll let you know how this works out.
