Brass Mesh is a fairly stiff material but may be bent by hand and has some springback after being bent or formed. It is a yellowish gold color when first woven and will gradually discolor.

This mesh may be brought to a bright finish by first removing surface oil from the mesh using "Shower Power" TM or similar mild phosphoric acid household cleaning product, then rinsing it well. This process is not for children and you should use gloves and safety mask when using any chemical.

In an outdoor environment, the discoloration will become pronounced as soon as six months at the seashore up to 14 to 20 years in desert conditions. This discoloration may be stopped by lacquering, waxing, or periodically oiling the mesh to protect it from atmospheric condittions. Brass wire mesh samples are available and can be ordered online.

Wire cloth is a woven metal fabric having either square or rectangular "working openings" between wires -- produced on large weaving machines called looms. "Working openings" are the clear spaces or distances between wires in both directions of each mesh of a square or rectangular woven fabric. Usually openings 1/4 inch and over are referred to as space cloth. Openings less than 1/4 inch are referred to as mesh cloth.
Square or Rectangular Opening
The proper "working opening" depends primarily on the end application of the woven wire screen or cloth in service. For example, square openings should be used where accurate sizing is essential. Rectangular openings are usually three to four times longer than wide and offer increased "through" capacity with less separation accuracy. Elongated rectangular openings afford the highest "through" capacity with the least accuracy in separation.
