Welcome to the Peoples Republic of New Zealand where the tyranny of distance and overwhelming stealth taxes are only over shadowed by good ol' price gouging.

Building a 2" convertible combination column.
Trying to find some copper mesh packing locally in New Zealand - any Kiwis know of a reasonable source?

Nuntius has pointed me at a source in the States he trusts (thanks fella) - thought I'd have an ask here before I hit "purchase" online.

I got mine at Bin Inn. Not cheap, but I only needed one.

Aussie here, and I had the same problem. If you have access to a metal lathe, here's a solution I came up with - copper nuggets. It's virtually free, and makes an excellent packing material.
