We bought some from ali, but pretty sure the "copper" they sent is brass, and doesn't work. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004687748406.html)

 

 

 

Anyone happen to have some copper and zinc strips (~4 each) you could send this way (in HB)?

 

If so, how much?

What about an offcut of copper pipe from a plumber?

If you can't find ready-made strips, you can get zinc from any marine store (eg Burnsco) in the form of zinc anodes, and you can cut up copper plumbing fitting for copper strips.

Hmmm, good ideas. I'll give that a try if I have no luck here. Cheers

I would expect any zinc-plated hardware fitting would work, eg:

And maybe a copper pipe saddle:

Yeah, that might be the easiest option.
