Just rolled mesh with a hollow centre.
Bear in mind that when you bend the mesh wick, make sure there are no kinks
Kinks in the mesh will impede wicking ability
Not tried SS rope in a dripper. I find SS rope to be a PITA .... cutting and preventing frayed bits sticking out
Pair of knipex electrical side cutterswhen i used to use rope i found my wifes nail clippers to be immensely effective at neating up those frays.
Tried sheet metal shears, toenail clippers and a Dremel with cutting disk
They always end up looking like a bog brush
