    I just use my 0.30 or smaller lead wire and take a hammer and flatten out the round stuff, works great.

    Take regular round lead wire and flatten it by using a rolling pin. Just wash the rolling pin afterwards.

    AS you referred to Davy MacPhail, this is his probable source.

    It is in Scotland, as is Davy.

    Use a cutting board and a ROTARY cutter. It is a circular blade that rotates so there is slippage deformation. You get precise cutes by using the grid on a cutting board and the board will not dull the blade.

    Cheaper to just buy the round stuff and flatten it.

    I'm hoping you've got a rolling pin just dedicated to this task.
