Need only 3m of nickel strip. What about this seller?

Second order from the same Aliexpress shop that was recommended on Endless Sphere, been scratched up and in salt water for a week, I think it’s good :joy:

Hey guys, we need take care with nickel plated stainless steel, there is no way to know using salt and water. But I discovered using solder, when I was removing the weld from my pack and the nickel was separeted from the steel.
Please someone tell me where I can find Solid Nickel Strip ?

this is the eternal question.
always test each roll of nickel before you start. I have gotten good nickel from vendors that subsequently sold bunk nickel.
Amazon has some quick, and you can return it if it’s fake.
or else it’s the slow boat from China and a long wait and a gamble to boot.

Fogstar has some and they test and certify (!) but they sold out of my favorite sizes.

I’m trying to build up a stock to offer people here a domestic source but buying nickel is risky and slow. Been waiting 2 months for one kg and 1 month for another. If it’s fake I’ll loose my shit.
