Glad you enjoyed the video!
I use a standard 6-7mm rod to pull my clear stringers from. But 5-6mm is fine too. The thinner the rod the more careful you have to be to keep the pull fairly consistent.

For a 6-7mm rod I usually get 3 stringers. I pull two stringers and set the end aside. Then I start a new rod and after I pull the first stringer I then weld the end piece I set aside to the new rod. Then I just continue on this way welding the left over piece to the next rod so there's no waste.
