Questions & Answers

Is it possible to cut it with a pair of fine-toothed scissors?

It's quite thick, about the same thickness as a 16-inch wide sheet of paper. The wire is 18 gauge, but it's very bendable.

These will be used as the nose bridge in a mask. Will they melted or rusted after being washed and dried?

It is made of aluminum, so it will not rust and will not melt in the dryer.

I don't think there's 350 feet of wire in the spool; how much is there?

Yes, there is that much wire on the spool; it is a LARGE spool.

Selected User Reviews For Jack Richeson Armature Wire, 1/16 Inch x 350 Feet, Aluminum

This wire is excellent for armature construction in general
5/5

For making armatures, this is the best wire ever. This is almost entirely what I use to make dolls. The wire is flexible but strong enough not to snap or break when bent. I simply double it if I need a wider or heavier wire, and it twists together easily to form a single wire. I am very pleased with the quality and price of this wire.

I can't think of a reason to give it anything less than five stars
5/5

Mostly because it was exactly what I had hoped for. It's made of aluminum. It's made of wire, and it's 16 gauge. It has a squishy quality to it. It's exactly what I've been looking for.

Masks will love it
5/5

We'll be making cloth masks out of these. Pipe cleaners are vastly inferior.

For marine projects, it's salt-water resistant
5/5

Excellent wire that is very flexible and salt-water resistant (unlike galvanized wire).

It is a good deal
5/5

Nice wire, easy to work with even with limited tools, which was exactly what I needed for my project. For how much there is, it's a good deal.

Five out of five stars
5/5

Great product; it's especially useful for making loops around the main wire so the clay can adhere to it.
