> Our mesh is generally 20 or 30 micron and comes from Small Parts Inc.
>(Miami Lakes, FL). Since the mesh itself is not particularly cheap..

Nitex (Nitex is a registered trademark) woven monofilament mesh is produced
in Switzerland. There are a vast number of sizes (both monofilament diameter
and spacing). You can buy the same mesh far, far cheaper from the distributor
in the US.

Tetko, Inc.
333 South Highland Ave.
Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510

(In Canada the last I heard, B. & S.H. Thompson & Co. Ltd. was the
distributor; offices in Toronto and Montreal.)

The mesh is woven approximately 1 meter wide. Tetko sells it by the yard
(effectively the square yard). Small Parts sells it by the square inch at
something like 10 times the cost of Tetko. We buy a couple of meters at a
time, and with profligate use it lasts a couple of years.
