Hi-
Ok, I've been purchasing all the stuff I need to try silver cores and riveted bead caps. I ordered some silver tubing from Metalliferous, .020 wall thickness. Looks fine on the 1/2" silver tubing, but looks too thick on the smaller tubes to rivet the 3/32" and 1/8" bead holes. Should I order some with the .010 wall thickness? Or would that be too thin?

thanks-
Ana

I use the thinner wall tubing for 3/32 bead holes. The thicker wall is a bit heavy to bend and shape well in that size range.
