I need a small (2" x 3") square of brass mesh screen for a small radar screen I want to assemble. All I can find on eBay are the round ones used for pipe screens (1" diameter). Anyone have a source, of a piece they want to sell? The mesh size is similar to that found in a sink aerator, or the front of a Stormtrooper's helmet. Thanks for any leads.
 
This places sells 3x3 samples, cutting it a little close for what you need if they don't actually give you 3" but anyway...

Once you get the "mesh size" you are looking for Google will probably be more friendly on popping results...

I also have seen Amaco WireForm Metal Mesh stuff in stock at the local Michael's and possibly Hobby Lobby... Can't say If they had much of a selection on sizes or what types of metals but I do remember they did have some brass at my local store...

Also Google searchs for "brass mesh" work better then 'screen', I need some of this awhile back and I was also having a hard time finding it, then my mom's boyfriend who tinkers with 'breeding' orchids picked me some up, he uses it to filter and wash the spores and knew exactly where to source it...

*edit I just checked ebay and 'brass mesh' got a lot of hits...

I've seen different types of meshes at Crafts 2000, including copper and brass looking metal meshes.
 
I ordered some from TWP. What a great resource.

eBay hits for "Brass Mesh" were 90% for clothing/accessory items. A couple for the round pipe filter screens. No hits for the mesh I was looking for.

THANKS to all for the input.
