Copper Tubing for BHBs
I am looking for copper tubing to line beads made with a 3/16" mandrel. OD 5.15 mm, ID 4.4 mm. Where do you buy your copper tubing?

I used to get it from Gingko (Sp?). She has since closed up. I have some copper tubing you can have for just postage if you want it. Maybe 4 or 5 pieces.

Most good hardware stores and model shops will have a rack of loose metal rod, tubing, and sheet.
Not sure of the sizes used in plumbing but tat may also work.

I've bought some tubing before from the hardware store for etching but I thought it was to thick for coring. It does work for coring?

I didn't know CG beads had it! good to know. I try to stay away from her site. Every time I go there I buy another bead roller. 
ETS: Christine, I'll mail it out tomorrow. I forgot today.
