 20AWG linkwire is the the smallest off-the-shelf
product I've located thus far. If anyone spots
something smaller, please give the List a
heads-up.

well, if you have $9, this B&C Specialty Products kit works.

maybe cheaper than trying to buy 6" of Silicone covered fiberglas
sleeving on your own.

I tried out a 'catastrophic fault test' on some 22AWG milspec wire inside a
short piece of silicone tubing, and the wire was vaporized but the silicone
tubing completely contained the event. (It did let the wisp of smoke out,
of course.)

Wire is going to be on hand, and silicone tubing could probably be sourced
locally, or certainly from the usual online suspects. A few dollars and
you'd have enough to makesmall gauge link shields for the rest of your
flying career. ;-)

   Good show. Got any pictures?  I can
   append the experiment and your results
   on the DIY fusible link comic book.

Just the post-test, disassembled one I attached to the message, and one 
showing the test link, pre and post test. I'm sending all three direct 
to your email address. The tubing was ordered from probably either 
Amazon or ebay. As I said, it's *not* clear vinyl; it's silicone. I'd be 
a little less confident in vinyl. ;-)
