Title: What kind of wire are you using?
Post by: harryklippton on March 06, 2021, 12:39:40 PM
My little stash is running low and I don't have a lot of the colors I want to use. So what are you using? Is the #24 pre-bond from small bear what I want? I think that's what I had bought before

The Small Bear prebonded is easily the nicest wire I've ever used. I think there is one other guy that sells prebonded that everyone swears by, but I can't remember the name now.

Chrome sells really nice wire -- he's the 'DIYGP' link up in the top of this page, in fact!

I ordered a bunch of the tadya wire and it is fairly decent. The only negative is that it is not prebonded like the smallbear wire. Smallbear seems to be out of stock alot and I think Barry's wire is a group buy type thing. I can almost always get the tadya wire in different gauges and colors at whatever length I need and it works well for me... and it's cheap

Still have some of the 500' in five colours of 22awg PTFE/Teflon insulated stranded i bought from ApexJr. years ago. Use it in my high voltage tube projects as well.

Barry, that's it, just couldn't remember.

I've got some of the Tayda stuff and a few other cheaper brands too. They do the job but aren't as pleasant to work with.

Thanks for the suggestions y'all. I got some small bear stuff but they didn't have all the colors I want. I'll try to get those next order.
