Model Making Materials

Brass 'I' beam.

These brass 'I' beams are used on architectural model making and design engineering projects.

• 'I' beam dimensions: 2.0 x 5.0mm
• 'I' beam length: 1000mm

Cut using a circular saw or manually with a hacksaw. If you don't want to solder, best joined using a two part epoxy or superglue.

Brass forms a greyish-green layer on the surface, which you should remove (sand, polish) before soldering.

After polishing, to preserve the shine, apply a clear laquer to the surface.

Our Workshop staff use Hycote Clear Gloss on their brass etching work.
