Default Re: At my wit' end with wire

.048 is closer to 16 ga, at least by the table I'm looking at:
16 = .0508
17 = .0453
18 = .0403
but that should be close enough anyway - main thing was to make sure you weren't putting a couple amps through it.

Using the higher current density will result in smaller pores, which may lighten the color a bit, but requires more aggressive agitation (not necessarily more than you're providing, just more than lower CD).
