Product Information
Full details
The KDMD Green Wire 26g Reel is an essential tool for florists, crafters, and event planners who need a reliable, flexible medium to support and lengthen floral stems. This product is ideal for creating professional-grade arrangements for birthdays, celebrations, and seasonal displays, providing enough structure to hold heavy blooms while remaining thin enough to hide within foliage. While it offers excellent versatility for decorative projects, users should note that the wire is specifically designed for light floral work and may not support heavy structural weight without reinforcement.

FAQs
Is this wire waterproof?
While the coating is moisture-resistant for standard floral arrangements, prolonged submersion in water may eventually cause oxidation.
Can I use this for jewelry making?
This wire is specifically designed for floral and craft applications. It is likely too soft and thin for professional jewelry-making standards.
How many reels come in the pack?
This product includes 10 individual reels of 26g green wire.
Does the green coating chip off?
The coating is designed to be durable for standard floral tasks; however, heavy scratching with metal tools may cause minor abrasions.
What tools do I need to cut this?
Standard floral wire cutters or a utility scissor will effectively cut the 26g wire.
Can I reuse the wire?
Yes, if the wire is not bent excessively or damaged during removal, it can be straightened and reused for smaller projects.
Troubleshooting
Wire kinks or twists during use
Avoid sharp 180-degree bends; use a gradual curve to maintain the wire's structural integrity.
Wire shows through the arrangement
Use floral tape to wrap the wire or weave the wire deeper into the foliage to hide the color.
Wire is too thin for the flower stem
Double or triple the wire, twisting the strands together to create a thicker, more rigid support rod.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin using your reel, identify the end of the wire and unwind only the amount necessary for your current task. For most applications, a pair of standard floral snips or wire cutters is sufficient to trim the wire to size.
Compatibility: This wire is compatible with all natural floral stems, silk flowers, and dried botanical elements. It can be used in conjunction with floral tape (stem wrap) to create a more natural look and a smoother finish.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the wire reels, store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture exposure. If the wire becomes dusty from floral materials or pollen, simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can strip the green coating and expose the metal underneath.
