View Full Version : Short plug wire... timmah 10-21-2012, 01:37 AM What do you do with it...... This. Make your own clips. They work, I've tested in the most extreme of fishing environments. http://youtu.be/BZbGCB2bak8 This is my dumb ass BTW. IT Works, tig wire not mig wire. :smash: nightfighter 10-21-2012, 06:53 AM Nice! chefchris401 10-21-2012, 08:34 AM Nice work Tim Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device GattaFish 10-21-2012, 06:43 PM I experimented with them a year ago but never used them since I can't get used to an open clip. Tim nailed it, smart dude and he is right they hold. You can even get some stiffer tig wire. I had a couple grades Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device O.D. Mike 10-21-2012, 07:08 PM What would happen if you heat treated the wire and dunk it in oil? Would it become to brittle or make it stronger? Slipknot 10-21-2012, 07:27 PM Very good why does it have to be tig wire? I have welding wire 316-1L, is that good enough? 1/16" thick Charleston 10-21-2012, 08:13 PM Very good why does it have to be tig wire?

I know there are some machinist types on here that would know for sure.

They are all stainless steel alloys; 304, 308, 316. 304 being the softest and easiest to work. Some are labeled with an "L" this signafies that the wire is annealed. TIG is a welding process know as "Tungsten Inert Gas" The melt flow is blanketed with an inert gas to allow a pure flow. The TIG process does not require any flux or melt enhansers thus the plain wire. WoodyCT 10-22-2012, 08:15 PM There are 3 popular TIG wires used in plug building.

A Noble Gas that won't react with the metals, and it keeps oxygen away from the molten metal. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
