Wire and Silicone Sleeveing group buy - Interest Check

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

I am considering purchasing 200 feet of high strand count, (66) rope layer strands,  uninsulated tinned copper wire from cooner wire along with some medical grade silicone tubing to sheath it with.  The total thickness of the sheathed wire would be 1/16" (just under 2mm) which for reference, is the same thickness as some sheathed 22awg wire i have in front of me.

 

This would make for some super flexible, strong, nice looking, and pretty unique wire.

 

I hope to split this group buy either 4 or 8 ways - you may purchase just wire, just insulation, or both. I prefer both and will give priority to that.

I will not be insulating the wire for you if you purchase both.

 

Here is a link to the wire: model # NER 32240T - (coming soon..their website is a little buggy sometimes)

Here is a link to the tubing: Product Code: 101-187791 - the tubing a is semi transluscent "natural"color

 

I would sell everything at cost:

Prices would be as follows if split 4 ways -  not including the cost to ship to you + paypal fees unless you pay as a gift:

50 feet of wire - 52.47

50 feet of tubing - 39.32

50 feet of both - 91.79

 

Please post here and PM me if interested.

I would need payment up front b/c i cant cover the total myself.

Any questions/comments/suggestions are welcome

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. i accidently deleted this post earlier, so i had to retype it which is why it looks so different all of a sudden

i looked at many options and at other wire choices as well.. silver plated, bare copper, different strand counts, different sizes etc.. but in the size i want, and to get one that would fit the tubing , all but this one were not in stock which means you have to order thousands of feet, so i didnt have much choice.. but i think it will be great anyway.

 

i also looked at cooners silicone wire, and many many other places that did wire with silicone sheathing already on it, but there was always something.. crappy colors, crappy size choices, gigantic minimal orders.. or just plain ol high prices..

its also very hard to find bare wire especially this high of quality without buying 5000 feet or something crazy like that.

 

all in all though I think this wire is gonna be reeeeeally sweet.  with 66 strands on 22awg wire combined with the silicone, it will be as flexible as a wet noodle! or as close as you can get.    I think it will be pretty unique compared to what most people use.  I also think its gonna look pretty cool!

I have updated the OP with more accurate total prices based on obtaining the estimated shipping cost from cooner on the wire.

 

i have only gotten 1 person interested, so please let me know if there is something about this group buy that is making it unappealing to ya'll and i will see what i can do to improve it.  I am certainly open to suggestions.

Just a suggestion.


 

i agree, but I dont think its possible given what is in stock..  I may check again, meanwhile i have some other wire to work with.
