Greater than one weekWhen I ordered this wire I wasnt sure whether it would be the right diameter, strength, moldiness (a word?), but took a chance according to what was said in the reviews. It is PERFECT! (Ill see if I can figure out how to post a pic of a completed mask. The masks Ive been making are contoured/fitted, have a filter pocket, and a nose wire sleeve so that the wire can be removed for laundering.)

> 3 dayThis roll of wire has clearly been used, as it was very poorly re-spooled, resulting in a tangled mess thats sticking out everywhere. The label also shows signs of wear / previous use. So without measuring the entire spool, I dont even know if I received the full length of wire (80ft, as advertised). This product should have been sold as used, not as new. All that said, the product itself is great, and I would highly recommend it.

> 3 dayIt is a lot smaller than I had envisioned. I use quite a lot of this wire in prepping my paintings.

> 3 dayI did try #4 but for my purposes I found it would be too light BUT my review applies to both #4 and #5 (just different weight bearing). Have tried several hanging wires and honestly nothing touches the quality of Softstrand with vinyl casing. These wires are flexible and easy to wrap by hand (protective vinyl casing makes a huge difference) and extremely durable. A final pinch with the pliers to close off the end and voila! My paintings and framed photos say thank you as I have no concerns about the wire being too weak, fraying, snapping. Customer service is oustanding. Highly recommend - and remember this wire is worth the slightly longer delivery time.

> 3 dayIts the perfect thickness, the coating is awesome, super easy to install all you need is a wire cutters. Note: look at the back of any other frame professionally wired - Do a tight twist numerous times and then reverse it on top of itself. That keeps it from slipping and coming undone.

> 3 dayI got tired of poked fingers when adding hanging wire. The coated stainless is ideal, easy on fingers and corrosion resistant.

> 3 dayIt was my first time purchasing and using this type of picture wire. It was expected and worked well. Most of all, I appreciated not getting any of those painful finger pokes by the end of the wire.
