For example, the diameter of an 18 gauge wire is 1.02mm, while the smaller number 12 gauge is 2.05mm, more than twice the diameter. This relationship makes more sense if you think of how many ...

The larger the wire, the stronger it is A single braid can use 20 gauge - 18 gauge (0.8-1mm wire) Double braid 22 gauge - 20 gauge (0.6-0.8mm) If the bead hole is too small, use 22 gauge (0.6mm ...
