Versatile Sculpture Wire for All Creations

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I know that this wire is a must-have for any sculptor. It's malleable and easy to mold, making it perfect for creating armatures, frames, and other structural elements. Plus, it's durable and strong enough to hold even heavy materials. The only con is that it can be a bit difficult to manipulate with bare hands, so gloves are recommended. Overall, this wire is an essential tool for any serious sculptor.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • Bends easily, making it difficult to create precise shapes and angles

The goods arrived quickly, which is always a plus.

Goods received quickly which is always a plus. However, I'm not sure if the spool I received contains the entire 130 feet of wire as it appears to have been unwound and then roughly wound back onto the spool. I don't see any creases or dents on the outside so only time will tell if it holds up with use.

Pros
  • Wire and fittings
Cons
  • Uncertain

Great for TV and ham radio projects

Been looking everywhere for bare aluminum wire, especially this size. While attempting to repair a 50 year old TV antenna, I melted down an aluminum feeder cable and haven't been able to find a suitable replacement for a year (aluminum has fallen out of favor in electrical circuits due to overheating and fires, but this cable is ideal for low voltage antenna operation. ). I will also use it in VHF/UHF ham radio projects.

Pros
  • Arts, crafts and sewing
Cons
  • Some bugs
