Annealed Japanese Copper Wire

[Grant Bowie]

Hi all,

I will be carrying/stocking Annealed Japanese Copper Wire from now on as part of my future business and will have some stock at Bonsai By The Harbour this weekend for sale.

The wire will be available ex Canberra by Australia post around Australia.

I will commonly stock size 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18. I have also been asked to stock 17 and I usually carry small amount of 19 and 6.

Smallest rolls are 1kg and I have some 2kg rolls at at a small (approx 10%) discount.

PM me for further details, costs and postage.

Thanks for the conversion chart there Grant. Now that I know what sizes I need, I will save up for some!

does annealed copper have more holding power than the coated aluminium at the same size?- does work hardening stiffen copper too much to be re -used--or does anyone unwire and use again --or cut and dispose

[quote="Guy"]does annealed copper have more holding power than the coated aluminium at the same size?

Yes, big time.

It is more expensive than aluminium but you use less as it is thinner and it holds very well, sets well and then blends in with the tree. The wire can stay on the tree for many years.

The heavier sizes can't be reliably re used so cut and dispose

The lighter gauges may be reused if you wish.

Hi all,

AABC convention coming up in 3 weeks time.

Anybody wanting copper wire and going to the AABC convention can place an order with me then pick up the order from me at the convention and avoid postage.

[Grant Bowie]

Last chance for this up coming weekend if you are going to the AABC Convention and would like to pick up some wire.

I will only be bringing the orders placed and no extras.
