    Thanks,
    Only other idea I've come up with was old box springs, but dealing with the funk of old box springs was a nogo.


    I have no idea, I've never been to Brazil - but I do know that Brazil has vast ranching operations, so my guess is anyone who supplies them? Up here, Tractor Supply, Home Depot, Lowes... etc.

    mattress springs are heat treated - so trying to unfold them would be a challenge if you didn't anneal them first.... even so, they're already mostly work-hardened, so reheating them may not get you where you need to get.

    I know that home depot is not in Brazil, but this is the type of wire I would be looking for: https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Hill...2062/203721653

    You might be able to use solid electric wire (8 gauge or 10 gauge) if you don't mind the sheathing.

    started a topic Coat hanger wire or?

    Coat hanger wire or?

    Hello, Time to pick your brains.
    Coat hanger wire isn't really long enough for what I need the wire for. So , other than getting a bunch , unbending it, cutting off the part that I can't and then brazing a few together. Any other low cost options?

    I want to make a frame work that will then be covered with fleece, then brush in till soaked, fiberglass resin.
Working...
