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 thin, workable metal that holds its shape without adding bulk, finding the right brass sheet strip can be a challenge. Whether you're a hobbyist building scale models, a maker crafting decorative inlays, or a small workshop fabricating shims and gaskets, a consistent 0.6mm brass sheet strip gives you the precision and flexibility you need without the guesswork of sourcing raw stock.
This brass sheet strip is made from brass alloy, offering a warm golden tone with good machinability and moderate corrosion resistance. At a uniform thickness of 0.6mm (approximately 0.024 inches), it is available in widths ranging from 10mm to 300mm (roughly 0.39 in to 11.81 in) and in lengths of 500mm (approx. 19.7 in) or 1000mm (approx. 39.4 in / 1 metre), giving you flexibility to match your exact project dimensions.
Typical applications include DIY metalwork shims and spacers, decorative banding and inlay strips for woodworking, electrical and thermal conductivity applications in hobby electronics, craft and jewellery-making projects requiring thin brass foil, and precision gasket cutting for small mechanical assemblies.
Uniform 0.6mm (0.024") gauge across the full length ensures consistent results when cutting, bending, or forming ā no uneven spots to compensate for.
Choose from widths of 10mm to 300mm and lengths of 500mm or 1000mm to match your project without unnecessary waste or extra cutting.
At 0.6mm, this brass strip can be cut cleanly with tin snips or metal shears and bent by hand or with simple tooling ā no specialist machinery required for most DIY tasks.
Brass naturally resists oxidation and moisture better than mild steel, making it suitable for both indoor decorative use and light-duty applications in humid environments.
Brass is a good electrical conductor, making these strips useful for hobby electronics, grounding strips, and contact shims in low-voltage applications.
The natural brass tone adds an attractive metallic accent to decorative woodworking inlays, jewellery, and craft projects without requiring additional finishing.

Measure the area you need to cover or the slot you need to fill, then select the next size up to allow for trimming. For shims and gaskets, match the width as closely as possible to minimise waste. For decorative inlays, a slightly wider strip gives you room to file flush after fitting.
Yes. At 0.6mm thickness, this strip cuts cleanly with tin snips, aviation shears, or a sharp craft knife and metal ruler. For straight, precise cuts on wider pieces, a bench shear or guillotine gives the cleanest edge. A fine-tooth hacksaw or jeweller's saw also works well for intricate shapes.
At 0.6mm, this strip is best suited for light-duty, non-structural applications such as shims, gaskets, decorative banding, and craft work. It is not intended for load-bearing structural components. For heavier-duty applications, consider a thicker gauge.
Brass does not rust (it contains no iron), but it will naturally patina over time when exposed to moisture and air, developing a darker, antique tone. For outdoor use, applying a clear lacquer or wax coating will help preserve the original golden finish. It is not recommended for prolonged submersion in water.
Yes. Brass solders and brazes well using standard flux and silver solder or brass brazing rod. Use an appropriate flux to prevent oxidation during heating. This makes it suitable for jewellery making, plumbing fittings, and hobby electronics connections.
The 500mm length (approx. 19.7 inches) is ideal for smaller projects or when you need a shorter piece to minimise offcuts. The 1000mm length (1 metre / approx. 39.4 inches) offers better value per millimetre and suits longer runs such as edge banding, continuous shim strips, or projects requiring a full metre of material.
Yes. Brass is electrically conductive and is commonly used for contact strips, grounding tabs, and bus bars in low-voltage hobby electronics and DIY electrical projects. Ensure connections are clean and secure, and always follow safe electrical practices for your application.
