What is thicker 14 gauge or 18 gauge fence wire?
Well I am asnwering this just because the body piercing industry uses AWG (American Wire Gauge) for a standard jewellery gauge. So 14g is thicker than 18g, the higher the number the thinner it is, the lower the number the thicker it is.

How thick is 26 gauge steel in mm?
For a wire classified under American Wire Gauge standards, 26 gauge wire is 0.0159" (0.40386 mm) in dameter. For a wire classified undere metric wire gauge standards, a 26 gauge wire is 2.6mm in diameter. Metric gauges are calculated simply by multiplying the diameter, in mm, by 10 and therefore increase as the diameter increases, unlike the AWG standard.
