B Bill O'Donovan Jun 17, 2003 #2 Depends ...on shaft size. 3/4" for one-inch usually. Check the Archives for wads on this subject.
C Carl foster Jun 17, 2003 #3 Whoa Bill What kind of stuffing box you got on that one inch shaft? 1/4" packing and find a 1" piece of stock and cut to fit[preferably on an overlapping angle]
