Default Amaco brand wire mesh

I was looking around on the net and found this http://www.dickblick.com/1/1/29075-woven-20-5-ft-amaco-wireform-mesh.html wire mesh that looks promising for low cost materal to do a hop strainer or similar build. Anyone have any experience with it. If you scroll to the bottom they have stainless listed for cheap. Just not sure what the size of the mesh opening is.

Your thoughts?
Mark

The 20"x5' copper looks like a decent deal...but seriously, McMaster's prices aren't unreasonable, their shipping is absolutely spectacular (ordered in the afternoon and had it in 24 hrs on regular shipping) and they give you way more information to make your choice. If you're looking for mesh, it should be 20x20 or coarser.

What was the size of the last mesh you ordered from mcmaster carr? How big of a piece did you get and how much was it if you don't mind me asking. BTW that last basket upgrade is pretty cool. I thought you were going to double up on the 6x6 ebay stuff?

Another great source for wire mesh that I found on the net.

Used these guys a few times previously. They can send you a 4" x 4" sample of whatever material you might be looking for too. Just throwing out another source for those that don't want to use Mcmaster....
