I need a fid for splicing 1/4 amsteel, I don't want plastic and don't want to pay $50 for a kit. I know some have used knitting needles. What size do I need? I'm thingking a 10.5 or 11. Found some charts, a 10.5 is 6.5mm outside diameter, a 1/4" is equal to 6.35, that might be to close for inserting the amsteel in the needle. Can't find the inside diameter of the needle. A size 11 is 8mm outside diameter.
