FAQs
Can this wire be used outdoors?
Yes, the aluminium material is naturally resistant to rust, making it suitable for temporary outdoor decorative setups.
Does it conduct electricity?
Yes, as it is made of aluminium, it is a conductive metal and should be kept away from electrical components.
What tools are best for cutting this wire?
Standard wire cutters or heavy-duty craft scissors are sufficient for the 100 gauge thickness.
Is the wire paintable?
While the wire comes with a lavender finish, you can paint over it with craft enamels if a different color is required for a specific project.
How do I keep it from tangling?
Always store the wire in its loop and secure it with a small twist tie or clip when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Wire kinked during uncoiling
Gently straighten the kink by running the wire between your thumb and forefinger while applying light pressure.
Coating scratched during shaping
Use soft-jaw or nylon-tip pliers instead of standard steel-jawed pliers to protect the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the wire, simply uncoil the loop carefully to avoid kinks. You can cut the wire to length using standard side cutters or household scissors. When working, it is recommended to use nylon-jawed pliers if you need to bend the wire sharply, as this prevents damage to the lavender finish. Store the remaining wire in its original loop configuration to maintain its shape. Keep the product in a dry environment to ensure the longevity of the color coating, as prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme moisture may eventually impact the finish.
