Should I try a smaller guage wire with the 12 transformer (maybe the 18 guage)? the 1st wire we used was 15 guitar wire & 12 transformer (but melted the wire) Then tried 26 guage ni-chrome but wouldn't heat enough to cut. Then we tried going to 26 guage ni-chrome with the 24 transformer (which burned up the box & the dimmer)We are making 4 foot cuts on 1&2 in. thin & thick filter media. Any suggestions ???
