Hi
Can anyone give me a UK supplier of graphite or PTFE packing yarn.
Cheers Mike
Gland packing
Try Reeves 2000, Blackgates or Polly Engineering.

Blackgates used to do graphite yarn Mike – and for PTFE "packing" yarn just use PTFE plumbers tape and twist it into "strings" if you see what I mean.

Cheers guys.
check a previous posting of mine, what is being passed off as graphite yarn has no graphite!
Perhaps surprisingly … Putting the words 'fizzy yarn' into the Google search box on the home-page does actually find this previous thread.

You could try Stuart Models, I think they do it.
I wasnt making it up govnor, honest I wasnt
.
It was the ability to easily find the relevant that caused my mild surprise
… Never doubted you for a moment.
