Hi Marion,
Yes, the copper wire will tarnish over time, just like a penny. It shines up nicely with a little polish.

I just received your DVD and the basic tool kit with the copper practice wire. I haven’t had a chance to do anything with it yet. Do the copper practice wire tarnish?

Hi Gina,

We have 18 gauge round wire in dead soft. All of our other wire is half hard. We have 20 gauge Half Round, 18 gauge half round and 21 gauge square wire. It all comes coiled in the same radius I get from the foundry, about 7 inch diameter coils.

Hi…
I am having a hard time finding 18g soft and 20g Half Hard copper wire that is coiled. Monsterslayer looks like they only do spools. Can you help?
Thanks,
Gina

We just sold out of the 18 gauge round copper wire, so more was ordered.

Thanks Lois,

This is a skill that improves with practice. When I was first learning I ended up with a quart Mason jar full of scrap Sterling Silver, but I practiced a lot and was probably overly critical.

Cuttlebone casting using scrap Sterling Silver is a fun sideline.
