That doesn't make your work any easier, though. Aluminum wire may not be available, but if you tell the merchant what you are doing, I'm willing to bet that you could get a reduced price on copper wire. It could be insulated, which would help with the padding. In fact, the insulation would keep the poky cut off ends from being a problem, though sterilization might be of concern. I'd recommend AWG 20, so that it is easier to form to the bridge of the nose. Whatever wire you get, make sure to keep it flat while working, because the wire will fatigue and break if flexed too many times. HTH
Thanks!
Ah-ha! I just found something that might work. I have a little hobby making jewelry and remembered I have flat wire used for making necklaces. It's very bendable flat wire. Perfect, but I'll have to order a bunch more . It's only $4.00 for 32 feet.
