Used this to suspend ceramic pendants and did the job well. Easy to cut and bend to shape. Will use for armatures next.

Excellent wire
This excellent wire is up to the job. I use for suspending clay pendants while firing up to 1240°C.

How many times can this wire be recycled when the firing temperature is over 900 degrees centigrade?
Irene from Uganda
It can only be fired once.

Hi I need some good wire for putting ceramic buttons to hold the ceramic fibre in place In my kiln I need it to withstand multiple firings. Which wire is the best ?
Gaynor from United Kingdom
I would recommend the 16swg it is ideal for this application. Hope this helps.

Is this Kemper Nickel free wire please. Many thanks
Jill from United Kingdom
It is not Kemper brand it is Scarva brand high temperature wire but will withstand high temperatures in the kiln, hope this helps.

What is the highest temperature that you can fire this wire and is it the same for all the gauges of wire? Thanks!
Bob from United Kingdom
All our high temperature wire can be fired up to 1300°C.

Should i purchase wire graduated to size of work? Is it correct that wire should be rolled in newspaper to prevent Clay sticking? Does the wire burn -out during firing? I currently use Newspaper Armatures--thank-you
Mrs c Slade from United Kingdom
There are a few different thickness of wire depending on the scale of a piece you plan to make. I would not advise putting newspaper in the kiln as it will create a lot of smoke when burning of. The high temperature wire will remain in the piece giving it strength after during and after firing.

If I am firing glazed beads can I use this to thread the beads onto to prevent them touching the kiln? ie they won't stick to the metal and the metal can be propped up with other kiln proof items?
Charlie from United Kingdom
Yes you can use high temperature wire to fire beads however I would recommend using our 12 or 14swg thickness wire instead, this wire would be to thin and would not be able to support much weight. The other alternative is a bead firing stand.
