File size for silver tubing?

[pittypat]

What size files do you use to clean the edges of the silver tubing? and where to buy them? I am ready to order, but there are many sizes. Thanks, pat

...just get the little set of 5 or 6 tiny files, I think even at the dollar stores. They come in a little plastic holder, one's round, one's half-rounds, one's triangular, etc. Even if you order it from Rio, should only be a few bucks. I've had my set for years & years, perfect for a gazillion uses. To clean up the inside rim of tubing, I use the half-round one. Remember to be gentle though, you risk splitting if you file too aggressively on that edge.

Have fun,
Lea

I use nail files that I get at the beauty supply. I start with a coarse one and then move on to a fine file.
