10-20mm copper pipe as packing

Postby John » Mon May 09, 2016 5:20 pm

was wondering if there was any benefit to getting some 10 or 20mm copper pipe and cutting it into say 10mm lengths and using it as packing?

Sorry mate it won't have enough surface area to raise the performance.
You can use copper mesh, stainless steel pot scrubers etc.
