Alright everyone, I'm looking for more projects. I know, I know, I have enough on my plate, but I think this will be fun.
I need to know what nichrome is best. Nichrome A or Nichrome C. A has a higher temp rating (like 2100ºF) and has a higher tensile strength and lower ohm per foot, but C is a bit cheaper. I'm really thinking about getting both just to test it out.
my next question is what size? I'm thinking 28AWG, but wondering if 22AWG would last longer and not be as prone to snap. Your thoughts?
Also, where can I get large foam blocks? I'm talking a foot thick. I would like to get some that is 4'x8'x1'.
Let me know where I can get all of this and what is best on the other questions. Thanks for your help.
