They will work fine be sure to bend them so they can't lay flat on the base of your still

Copper is very soft metal and I'm surprised to see spring washers made from it - never seen them before. Are you sure they're not just copper plated?

Anyway, I use pieces of half inch copper tubing, from local plumbing supplier. I got a meter and cut it into 10mm pieces with a pipe cutter. Cheap and Cheerful ;)
