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

if your going to get something from there, just go with perforated aluminum. Im trying to decide what I want to work with, aluminum, steel or just get a PVC application.
Im leaning towards this:
PVC perforated
if your set on using mesh of some form or another, I wouldnt bother ordering something like that, Id just go to a screen shop, we tend to throw away enough screen to use, depending on the application
