Pros : No coating
Cons : None
Other Thoughts : I like bare wire and this one does what I need it to do. Sine it is bare it will take liver of sulphur quite well. I once bought copper wire and made 15 necklaces and to my horror it would not patina because it was coated to prevent oxidation, and the label did say it was bare. Atleast I know this one really is. You should add this to your collection of wire. Get as many sizes as you can. I suggest 16, 18, 20, and 22.
