Questions & Answers

Would this be available in a shorter length? One hundred and fifty dollars would be fine Approximately 200 feet?

This does not seem to be the case. In most cases, selling custom lengths is not cost-effective. They sell an amount that will meet the needs of most customers, and they will adjust the price accordingly. I am not providing a textbook answer, but rather my opinion on the topic. There is a possibility that I am mistaken.

Is this wire strong enough to cut through fabric if it's stretched tight?

I don't know, but I doubt it

How sturdy is this wire? Will it be able to unclog tiny ?

This wire is stiff enough to unclog small nozzles, but you need to keep in mind the two diameters you work

What happens if you shape it? Does it break/snap? I need it for an art project. I need it to rust. Does it rust? I need it to rust. ?

The 0 was a good buy for me Wire of that diameter is very stiff and hard to bend into a particular shape, even when it is smaller than 0.27 inches. You can bend it somewhat, but it is likely to spring back. The metal will rust, and it will rust pretty fast.

Wire for music that works well
5/5

A homemade sitar is what I intend to make with this. In this case, the wire is pretty good. It can be labeled as "piano wire" or "music wire" according to some manufacturers. A kink only occurs if you make it, and it doesn't stretch at all. The packaging can be a pain to undo to be able to use it, but you can't avoid.

I received a messy spool of wire on which there were bent wires and twists connected into two strands, making it appear that the wire was not a single strand
3/5

I cannot return it because I need this wire so badly, so I won't bother. The product could have been better prepared, but I'm not sure how to go about it. There are 3 copper wires twist tied to the spool, and since all three are together on the spool, they tangle up in the box allowing the bulk of the wires to tighten together. The wire on these spools is ill-suited for long spools of wire. I would rather have the wire on real spools.

I do not like it for the purpose I intend it for (clay cutting wire) but maybe for yours
4/5

It is okay, but if it gets even the slightest kink, it will break with just a little pressure.
