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 material that machines cleanly, solders reliably, and holds tight tolerances, thin sheet metal becomes the deciding factor. Hobbyists building scale models, makers crafting custom brackets, and workshop enthusiasts tackling small fabrication jobs all share the same frustration: finding flat, consistent sheet stock in the exact size they need without ordering bulk quantities.
This brass sheet is composed of a copper-zinc alloy (commonly C260 cartridge brass), offering a warm golden finish with good formability and moderate hardness. The sheet measures 2.5mm thick × 60mm wide × 200mm long (approximately 0.098 in × 2.36 in × 7.87 in), supplied as a single flat piece ready to cut, drill, bend, or solder.
Typical applications include architectural scale model construction, RC vehicle chassis plates, custom enclosure panels, decorative inlay work, and small-batch prototype fabrication — all scenarios where a brass sheet cut to size saves time and reduces material waste.

Each order includes one flat brass sheet measuring 2.5mm thick × 60mm wide × 200mm long (approximately 0.098 in × 2.36 in × 7.87 in). The dimensions are pre-cut, so no additional sizing is needed before use.
At 2.5mm, brass sheet provides solid rigidity for small structural components such as chassis plates, brackets, and enclosure panels in scale models or light-duty assemblies. For load-bearing applications under significant mechanical stress, we recommend consulting a materials engineer to confirm suitability.
Brass does not rust (rust is specific to iron-based metals). It does develop a natural patina over time when exposed to air and moisture, which many makers find desirable. For applications requiring a bright finish, the surface can be sealed with a clear lacquer after cleaning.
At 2.5mm thickness, brass can be cut with a fine-tooth hacksaw, jigsaw with a metal blade, or band saw. It can be drilled with standard HSS drill bits and bent using a sheet metal brake or bench vise. Soldering is straightforward with standard flux and solder suitable for copper alloys.
Yes. The 60mm × 200mm footprint and 2.5mm gauge are well-suited for scale model structural components, RC chassis reinforcement plates, and architectural model detailing. The sheet can be scribed, drilled, and soldered to match typical hobby-grade assembly requirements.
Brass solders readily using standard soft solder and flux formulated for copper alloys. Silver soldering (hard soldering) is also possible for stronger joints. MIG or TIG welding of brass is feasible but requires appropriate filler rod and shielding gas — consult your welding equipment guidelines for brass-specific settings.
This listing covers the 2.5mm × 60mm × 200mm size. If your project requires a different thickness, width, or length, check the other size variants available in our brass sheet collection. When in doubt, order slightly larger than your finished dimension to allow for cutting and finishing allowances.
