> 3 dayBought this for wire weaving. It has some large sections along the spool where the wire is thinner and weak, so it keeps breaking off halfway through my projects. Very disappointing. Maybe I just received a bad spool? Its the first time purchasing 26g wire here.

> 3 dayUsing for a model for science. It is a little hard for my child to bend herself, but we intentionally got half hard so that the model will stay once it’s together so that was expected. Nice value.

> 3 dayWARNING: This is BARE copper wire, which means to the uninitiated that it will patina in a short amount of time. The patina (oxidation) turns this wire into a gorgeous brown color--one of two reasons I recommend--but beware! The weathering, or patina, can irritate your skin and cause contact dermatitis, a nasty red blotching and dotting that itches and spreads. Hydrocortisone will clear it up, and you can just use clear nail polish to cover up the part which touches your skin the most. The other reason I recommend this wire? Sturdy as hell. Not as sturdy as, oh say, 12 or 14 gauge copper, but this is also half-hard, which makes this my go-to wire for when I need wire sturdy enough to make hair pins, hoop earrings, etc. and other jewelry which requires stiff but malleaby wire. The companys 18 gauge half hard is also a great buy. For silver plated copper wire at 16 or 18 gauge, I recommend German style silver plated wire. Theres less of the German wire and more expensive, but its a sturdy alternative to bare copper, or if you prefer silver color. Did I mention that the package came in faster than expected?

> 3 dayMy order got lost and they replaced it immediately. That helped me so much since I am on a limited income. Wire is top-notch and easy to use. Will keep ordering from them from now on.

> 3 dayI ordered this wire specifically because it was supposed to be bare copper wire but it is not so when I used liver of sulfur to patina my wire wrapped piece, it did not patina any of this part of the wire but did on the other wires I had in this piece. Therefore my piece did not look like it was supposed to. Incredibly disappointing. Wire quality itself is great though.
