wire for soft grip leads

[rich]

any idea where i can get this wire from bearing in mind it needs to bend but not too much?I had some copper welding rods which were ideal but they have all been used now,any advice appreciated.

Rich i think what you are looking for are cuni 1.6 tig welding wire.
cuni is a copper alloy harder than copper but softer than stainless steel.you could get some from a welding supplier but i dont know the cost i possibly can find out and order you some from work pm me if you want me to try

cunifer welding wire is very expensive

try using 1.2mm stainless mig wire its very common in engineering so it shouldnt be too hard to get hold of and with it been thinner should do the job
