Chudeng's 18 gauge craft wire is dead soft stainless steel on a 165-foot spool, 0.04 inch (about 1 mm) round. Dead soft wire bends by hand with little springback, so it wraps, coils and shapes easily, and stainless steel resists tarnish and rust better than bare copper or craft aluminum. It suits jewelry makers, wire wrappers and floral arrangers who want a firm but workable wire that holds its shape. The trade-off is that dead soft stainless is harder to bend than aluminum and stiffer than copper, so tight, crisp bends take more hand strength.
