Title: K1 baffle - binding wire?
Post by: Andrew-S on December 04, 2019, 12:27:10 PM: This may well be a numpty question, but I've bought a new K1 baffle from DS and the gauze is just loose round the tube, can someone please advise what gauge binding wire to use or are these just fitted loose?

Thanks,
Andrew

If you must wrap it i dont think gauge of wire would matter
