Okay, I've never used a SS mesh wick before so was looking around for suppliers and don't quite understand the difference:
Wire Cloth, SS, 400 x 400 Mesh, 12 x 12 In - Wire Cloth - Wire Cloth - 3DLR6 : Grainger Industrial Supply - $13.64
(Wire Cloth, Plain Weave, Stainless Steel Material, Alloy Type 316, Plain Finish, Mesh Size 400 x 400, Mesh Size Range Fine, Wire Dia. 0.0010 In, Opening Size 0.0015 In, Open Area 36.0 %, Width 12 In, Length 12 In)
McMaster-Carr - $21
(Corrosion-Resistant 304 SS Woven Wire Cloth 400 X 400 Mesh, .001" Wire Dia, 12" X 12" Sheet, open area 36%, opening width .0015", wire dia. .001")
Wire Cloth, 316 SS, 400x400 Mesh, 12x12 In - Wire Cloth - Wire Cloth - 3GPL3 : Grainger Industrial Supply - $30.95
(Wire Cloth, Plain Weave, Stainless Steel Material, Alloy Type 304, Plain Finish, Mesh Size 400 x 400, Mesh Size Range Fine, Wire Dia. 0.0010 In, Opening Size 0.0010 In, Open Area 25.0 %, Width 12 In, Length 12 In)
So a bit of a price range, and not sure if they're all "corrosion-resistant" (that sounds important), don't get the different of alloy type 304 vs. 316, etc.
If it's all basically the same, I may as well get the cheapest one but don't want to miss anything!
