Finally figured out ss500 mesh! I used a piece small enough that only required maybe 3 wraps around a 5/64 drill bit...so about 3/4" wide or less. Made a nice straw, torched it once, liquid burned it 3xs then put a little cotton on top and voila...great taste and wicking well with no tilting reqd. Here is my question. The negative posts have a screw AND a nut. Do I need a mini wrench to sandwich the negative lead between the screw and the nut, tighten then screw the assembly to the deck? For this build I just put the negative lead under the whole assembly and works fine but would be easier if I could set the negative lead "higher."
