Questions & Answers

Is it tarnished in any way?

I've had it for about two months, and it doesn't seem to tarnish very quickly from what I've seen. And several people have handled the spools I have with their bare hands.

I'm curious about the wire's diameter. ?

18 gauge is equal to one. 237 mm o237 mm o237 mm o237 mm o2 0403 in. My calipers indicate a value of around 1. 045 mm.

Is the material sufficiently soft? I'm looking for a wire that's easy to bend for jewelry making. ?

This is, indeed, "dead soft" - I've been using it to make necklaces and bracelets.

Is this copper wire that hasn't been tinned yet?

It's copper wire that hasn't been treated in any way.

It was fantastic, but I made a mistake
5/5

The purpose of this review is two-fold. 1) to assist anyone who is new to working with copper wire so they don't make the same mistakes I did, and. . . 2) to refer Copper Wire USA to anyone in need of jewelry wire. br>br>I've ordered directly from Copper Wire USA's website before and prefer to purchase from them (either at their Amazon store or from their website) for all of my bare copper wire needs, and I would highly recommend them to others who need bare copper wire. br>br>The 14 gauge dead soft copper round wire on a spool is good (very good quality, packaged well, speedy delivery, etc. ) but due to a mistake on my part, I should Straightening is just so much easier. I could anneal it, but that's extra work and cleaning I don't want to deal with, so I should've paid the extra $3 for a coil with 10 extra feet of wire on their website. Again, this was MY FAULT because I didn't want to spend $3 extra because I thought it would be ok on a spool, but straightening the kinks out is much more difficult. I should have known better, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway; As a result, I'm going to keep it and use it for texturing.

It's almost flawless! I really like this wire, and it's pretty tough as long as you don't rub it up against any sharp wires
5/5

If you have to unwind a wrap, you CANNOT rewrap it and expect it to hold up over time.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? My wife is a wire wrap artist, so I go out and buy wire for her all the time
5/5

We've only recently gained access to online shopping! OH MY GOD. We were wasting the same amount of money on rolls that were only 26 feet long or shorter! Super happy with the price, and the quality is on par with any other wire if you know how to use it.

It's a powerful tool that's also simple to operate
5/5

This wire was exactly what I was looking for. It's a lot more powerful than I thought it would be. It is simple to work with. Excellent value for money!.

I like how adaptable it is
5/5

I'm so glad I found this wire because it's extremely malleable and simple to work with. In order to make my jewelry, I bend, shape, and forge a lot of wire. It also works well when combined with sulfur liver. For the price I paid, I believe it provides excellent value.

Excellent copper wire that is simple to work with
5/5

I highly recommend gray wire wrapped in pure copper wire. as well as any copper wire that this company has to offer for sale. They provide you with the exact amount mentioned in the comments.

They are NOT tarnish-free! I worked up a sweat making jewelry
3/5

  I was in the mood for some creativity and made 30 necklaces, which I now have to redo due to the poor quality of the copper. I'm glad I discovered this before I sold any of my artwork! This is a dreadful item!.

Antenna for shortwave radio
5/5

I strung a spool of this beneath the eaves and use it as a short wave antenna now. True antenna wire is becoming increasingly difficult to come by and expensive, so I'm not sure how long this product will last, but it's doing the job for the time being.
