Timothy Miller Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I need to find some spring steel sheet in .032" thick. I am tiring to repair a spring chair for a friend. I need about a 12" square of material or a strip 2" wide by 3'. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 would the wide pallet strapping used for very heavy items work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
