I know this is going to sound odd, but im trying to find a proper metal to use in a cilice - it needs to be flexible enough that I can bend it into loops/links, but durable enough so that tightened pressure wont bend it out of shape (they are for wear around the legs or arms). I'd prefer something that can be found in a craft store, but I am thinking I might have to go to a hardware store, and i was wondering if anyone knew specidfic types/names of link wire/chain that I can bend with plyers. Loos to me like something you could make a fence from.
