is this wire good for making bangled bracelets ?

It all depends because it is soft aluminum. If you are looking for rigidity as in a conventional bracelet, it will not be. Another thing to keep in mind: this is unfinished (raw) aluminum, and usually it will leave a blackish mark if rubbed against something (including skin). In order to avoid this issue would be to get it anodized.

Hi Sharon, with out knowing the project your planning to use the wire on I can not answer your question. I can say from my experience that this Stainless steel wire worked great when I was making odd shape filters. It held its shape after many handlings. ..........Ron

Difficult question to answer. Depending on your wrist size and complexity of your pattern. Plus I have seen people makes earrings or rings or belts instead of bracelets.

No, it is to hot. You only need a small torch and the stainless steel wire. Check online for jewelry welding.

i used the wire for personalizing things with script names ... the wire was too thin for what i wanted as the names didn't hold their shape ... i do not know what kind of support your sculpture would need. i know i needed a stronger gauge ...

I use these to make bales for my filigree jewelry. It has a graduated side so you can bend things to different sizes. I love using this but what are you going to make with these? It might be a help in wire wrap jewelry making too.

Yes on both questions. The links can be removed by pushing a tiny pin ( a bent over piece of s/s wire actually ) be careful w/ pulling it through, so you don't break the wire. The bracelet has a black anodized coating over the s/s (stainless steel) & will scratch off w/ an engraver, or a carbide scratch-all.P.S. try one link at a time, or makes it makes it hard to latch if it's to tight !

it is fine for doing cables providing you use he correct solder and most importantly...correct flux. If you really mean "electrical' work ...yes but you ,ay want to obtain a different tip(readily available)...if you are talking 'electronics work"...I would not. I usually use a low watt adjustable soldering iron for that type of work. The tip that comes with the iron is very broad and flat...and worked very well for soldering music wire for a model railroad catenary system.

sure will, just make sure you put it obn work table .Since you asked I had to go try!Thanks now I will make some jewelry from those too!

I would not buy it it's not the real thing in less you are making bracelets with a 6 year old littler sister they are like thick thread if you want the real thing go get mishika invisible loops it cost more but it's better then this item I promise don't buy

yes I would say so. I used to do wire wrapping for electronics and these would certainly work there. i'm sure they will do well on jewelry as well.

Yes. Each section of paracord is approximately 10 feet in length. You need around 1 foot of paracord per inch of wrist measurement to be sure you don't run out before you finish. The amount left over has never been enough to make 2 bracelets out of the same section (unless you're making them for very young children). Hope this helps.

It is a fine tool for precision work, I use it for small electronics, but I imagine it would be fine for jewelry making.

You should have no problem using them for the bracelets, as there are various sized beads, most should be perfect for what you want.

I haven't used it for soldering anything but Cu wire, but I know that his solder is not made for your purpose. Any solder joint, other than pure lead, made with acid flux will corrode with time. Therefore, I wouldn't advise it. Look into materials for brazing metals, which generally requires hotter temperatures than common solders and also requires a torch, I believe.

IDK. hot enough maybe, but the wire is thin, likely to break, or come loose if pushed too hard. There is a 'knife' type that might be better for that application, although I'd wonder about using sharp sewing shears, then melting the end if this is the nylon cord with frizzy end I recall.

that's what I used it with . , no problems the business uses a couple of piercing screws and the other end you just cap off . make sure you do a clean cut on the ends so no frayed wire protrudes and touches .
