so I bought an old record player at a tag sale for my mom, buy its lacking a stylus, and i cant find them anyware localy, but Im wondering if i can replace it with a homemade one until the new one i ordered arives in 2 weeks. I was thinking of sterching out a strand of class and using that.

Nah, it won't work & it would stuff the record anyway.

Not if i melelted the tip so it formed a tiny ball.

Ok, since you know so much then why don't you do it?

if by tiny ball you mean on the order of 0.7 mil diameter , well , go at it.

The standard household Ziploc® sandwich bag is 1.5 Mil, so your tiny ball has to be half the thickness of a the plastic used in a ziplock sandwich bag.

What is a mil when used to describe plastic thickness and stuff?

millimeter?

jesus, I hope you have the slightest ability to use the internet to find out answers to the simplest of questions.

One mil is equal to .001" or one thousandths of an inch.
