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 exact metal thickness and you cannot afford warping, inconsistency, or brittle edges, finding the right brass sheet roll becomes a real challenge. Whether you are a scale model builder, a jeweler, an engraver, or a hands-on DIYer, this brass sheet roll metal foil delivers the dimensional accuracy and workability that demanding projects require.
Each roll is made from brass alloy sheet stock, available in thicknesses from 0.01mm to 1mm (approximately 0.0004 in to 0.039 in) and widths from 10mm to 400mm (approximately 0.39 in to 15.75 in). Rolls are offered in 1-meter and 5-meter lengths, giving you the flexibility to order exactly what your project needs without excess waste.
Typical applications include model train detailing and scratch-building, decorative engraving and etching, shim stock for mechanical fitting, jewelry and craft metalwork, and architectural scale model construction — all scenarios where a consistent, rollable brass metal foil plate is essential.

For decorative overlays, labels, and fine craft work, thicknesses of 0.01mm–0.05mm are ideal. For model train detailing and light structural parts, 0.1mm–0.3mm works well. For shim stock, gaskets, and more rigid applications, 0.4mm–1mm provides the necessary stiffness. If you are unsure, start with a thinner gauge — it is easier to layer than to thin down.
Select a width that is equal to or slightly larger than the widest dimension of your intended cut piece. Narrower widths (10mm–30mm) suit strip-cutting for borders and trim. Medium widths (50mm–100mm) cover most model and craft panel work. Wider rolls (150mm–400mm) are suited for larger panels, architectural models, and sheet-metal forming projects.
Yes. Brass is commonly used as shim stock due to its dimensional stability, moderate hardness, and resistance to compression set. For shim applications, we recommend thicknesses of 0.05mm and above. Thinner foils (0.01mm–0.03mm) are better suited to non-load-bearing decorative uses.
Brass does not rust (it contains no iron), and it resists general corrosion well in typical indoor environments. In humid or outdoor conditions, brass may develop a natural patina over time. If a bright finish is required long-term, a clear lacquer or wax coating is recommended after cutting and forming.
Yes. Brass is an excellent material for both soft soldering (with standard electronics or plumbing solder) and silver brazing. Ensure the surface is clean and free of oxidation before soldering. Thinner foils (under 0.05mm) require careful heat control to avoid warping or burn-through.
Brass sheet can be laser-engraved (fiber laser recommended for metal) and CNC-routed or milled. For laser work, thicknesses of 0.1mm and above provide a stable substrate. For CNC routing, secure the sheet firmly to prevent vibration. Always follow appropriate safety precautions when machining metal.
Both options are the same material and thickness — the only difference is the total length of the roll. The 1-meter roll suits smaller projects or trial cuts. The 5-meter roll offers better value per meter for larger or ongoing projects where you need a consistent supply of the same size.
