I also received the mesh yesterday and I made some bad choices for the mesh. On Amazon I was only looking at the %open area and did not consider the mesh sizes. So I ended up with some mesh that has very thick wires an will be difficult to work with. Went to wikipedia and learned something about mesh Mesh (scale) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and I have to order some more mesh that has thinner wires so it can be workable. I'll post what I have so you can see my mistake.

d0sitmatr can you please give some suggestions about mesh sizes for ease of workability. The thinnest mesh I purchased was a 20x20 with a 0.023" wire diameter. Pages 392 and 393 of the McMaster-Carr catalog have a large selection of stainless steel meshes. McMaster-Carr
