Hi Chas:

    I wish they would sell it as wires. (Are you listening Rio??) It's
    the best thing I've ever found for weaving wax, but my best length of
    semi-equal size tends to be about 2 feet at a go. My trick, as much
    as there is one, is to shoot gently from about 2 feet above a marble
    countertop, and just keep shooting for a while. Eventually, you end
    up with enough similar strands to be able to do something useful. 

    If it were available in uniform strands, It'd probably sell really
    well. It's very, very good for weaving. (Of course, it's not the
    easiest to join/melt to anything else, but nothing's free.) 

    Sorry I couldn't be more help. 

Regards,
Brian Meek.
