The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When your project demands a flat metal sheet that cuts cleanly, holds tight tolerances, and looks the part, generic hardware-store offcuts just don't cut it. Whether you're a scale-model builder chasing exact wall thicknesses, a maker prototyping a bracket, or a hobbyist needing a reliable shim, this brass copper stainless steel sheet metal selection gives you the right material in the right size — no sawing, no waste.
Each sheet is supplied as a flat, mill-finished piece in your chosen material and dimensions. H62 Brass sheets range from 35×50 mm (approx. 1.38"×1.97") up to 200×300 mm (approx. 7.87"×11.81"), with thickness options from 0.8 mm to 3 mm (approx. 0.031"–0.118"). T2 Copper sheets cover 35×50 mm through 150×150 mm at 0.8–5 mm thick (approx. 0.031"–0.197"). Stainless Steel sheets span 100×100 mm to 300×300 mm (approx. 3.94"×3.94" to 11.81"×11.81") at 1–3 mm thick (approx. 0.039"–0.118"). Quantity per order varies by size — see variant options.
Typical use cases include architectural scale models and dioramas requiring thin brass sheet for model making, electrical grounding pads and bus-bar blanks cut from T2 copper flat stock, and corrosion-resistant backing plates or heat shields fabricated from stainless steel sheet metal for DIY projects.

Measure the largest flat area your project requires, then select the next size up to allow for cutting margins. For scale models, 35×50 mm and 55×100 mm sheets suit fine detail work, while 150×150 mm to 300×300 mm panels are better for larger structural pieces or multiple smaller cuts from one sheet.
H62 Brass is a zinc-copper alloy (approx. 60–63% copper) offering a golden appearance, good machinability, and moderate corrosion resistance — ideal for decorative and structural model parts. T2 Copper is nearly pure copper (≥99.9%) with superior electrical and thermal conductivity, making it the preferred choice for electrical contacts, bus bars, and heat-transfer applications.
Stainless steel sheets offer the highest corrosion resistance and are suitable for humid or outdoor-adjacent environments. Brass and copper develop a natural patina over time that actually provides a protective layer, though they are not recommended for prolonged submersion in harsh chemicals without additional coating.
Yes. H62 Brass and T2 Copper sheets are well-suited for soft soldering and silver brazing. Stainless steel sheets can be MIG or TIG welded; use appropriate filler rod and shielding gas for best results. Avoid using standard flux on stainless steel — use stainless-specific flux or a TIG process.
For thinner sheets (0.5–1 mm), aviation snips or hand shears work well. Sheets 1.5–3 mm thick are best cut with a bench shear, angle grinder with a metal-cutting disc, or a CNC router. For precision cuts on brass and copper, a fine-tooth hacksaw or laser cutter gives clean edges. Always deburr cut edges with a file or deburring tool.
For decorative inlays, shims, and thin model skins, 0.5–1 mm is typically sufficient. Structural brackets, heat shields, and load-bearing plates generally call for 2–3 mm. For electrical bus bars or heavy-duty gaskets, 3–5 mm copper provides the cross-section needed for current capacity and mechanical durability.
Brass and copper sheets up to approximately 1.5 mm can be cut with a fiber laser cutter. Thicker sheets may require higher wattage. CO₂ lasers are generally not effective on bare metals. Stainless steel up to 3 mm is compatible with fiber laser cutting. Always verify your machine's rated cutting capacity before processing.
