[IBC] Annealed Copper Wire
"Alan Walker" wrote in message news:000201c3ef7c$9cf5bf40$6101a8c0@Alan... Ray: I've had a different experience, at least with the larger gauges. Yeah, smaller gauges like 14, 16 or 18 hardly need annealing in the first place, but larger gauges (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) are not sufficiently annealed for safely wiring bonsai, even though the box claims they are annealed. Alan Walker http://bonsai-bci.com http://LCBSBonsai.org snip Alan: I try to avoid wiring with gages larger than 10. I find that I lose the "feel" needed to do a proper wiring job. If the branch is really stiff, I've used several methods: double windings of 10 ga copper wire; branch benders; and rigging. Occasionally I've used a combination of these methods on a branch.
