Wire Dude Cont'd

[Rick50]

Coating the wire will not make it less brittle. I think the best is pure copper bus wire as it is soft. Alloys (or mixtures) tend to be harder and thus get brittle easier. But I wouldn't worry. When it gets brittle just unroll some more and rebuild the little guy.

Thanks Rick! So the pure copper wire, will it eventually harden/become brittle and break?

Yes, but it will last longer.
