Default copper tubing

HI everyone! I'm wondering where I can get some copper tubing. I'm looking for the size that would be for the pandora size bead coring.

Thanks

Duane
PS I'm wondering if Lowes or Home Depot have that size?

My first thought was a hardware store. Worth a try, I think.

You might try the plumbing department, as well as the metal bin where they have the sheet metal and such. My local Ace hardware has brass tubing that's the right size.
Another thing that may work are Pex inserts, though one side is already dimpled.
Failing that copper break line may be available though a local auto parts distributor.

This is my fave for tubing, Duane:

Look for the ones that say "fits Pandora".

Another one for Ginkodesigns. THe copper is a tiny bit bigger than their silver, but that just means I spend a little extra time with the dremel. Not a big deal.

Duane, if you have not found a supplier, let me know. The tubing in hardware stores has a thick wall. I will send you a sample of thin walled tubing if you want.
