Quality copper

It’s magnet coil, and there were no shorts. The PAI (polyamide imide) coating is tough to glue as nitrocellulose (nail polish) and UV resin won’t hold the wraps of wire down. CA does a good job gluing the strands together, but the gaps need to be tiny. Threadlocker and an accelerator worked great to glue the wires into a fixed shape for an electromagnet project. Hot glue helps temporarily hold a shape until you can glue it properly as a tip.

I bought this wire to make my own wire coil for a project. It seems to be decent wire, the coating stays on good but can be scraped off if need to solder to.

I needed to hand make some inductors. I can't buy what I need. I had some other wire that was another brand and it was just wound on a spool and not neatly at that. This spool is very neatly wound. It has a nice coating of enamel and is just awesome looking. For the size, it is flexible as it should be. It just feels about right for the size. If you need to wind a transformer, inductor or other magnetic type component, this is a awesome spool of wire to have. While the coating is not needed for crafts, it would be good for that too. Bare wire might be cheaper tho. This will be my go to brand from now on.
