You would need to strip and anneal it first. Annealing is a process of heat treatment that makes the wire soft enough to bend. There are a few articles in bonsaiTALK Links under Techniques->Wiring or you can search there on ANNEAL Of course TreeBay Bonsai Tools & Supplies carries professionally annealed copper wire, and aluminum wire, in a variety of sizes. Look in the Supplies folder Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!
