Holy crap. I finally finished reading every daggum post in this thread. Now I'm disappointed with another 3-month wait to see the Top Secret Atty (TSA--err, maybe we shouldn't associate anything Raidy makes with that organization...).
Now that I know all I can know without hands-on experience, I want hands-on experience. Is anyone organizing any co-op buys for the mesh and/or Kanthal? Maybe someone nearby geographically want to get together for a little buy? Budget is just telling me that I can't really spend an awful lot at the moment.
If not, I'll try to get on it anyhow, sooner than later.
Thank you very much Raidy for the free sharing of all the info!
