I need wire that is about the thickness of a paper clip.** A: No, it's not. I've done some sculpting myself, but never a human form. I found the following at https://www.instructables.com/id/CREATING-A-FIGURE-ARMATURE-FOR-SCULPTURE/ (Materials needed) -1/8th aluminium armature wire -1/16th aluminium armature wire -Small gauge galvanized steel wire (18 gauge or thinner is best) **Q: Is this wire insulated?** A: No it’s not insulated.this wire gets red hot when hooked up to a power source so why would you want to insulate it.this type of wire is used in things such as hair dryers etc. **Q: What voltage is best for this wire to reach 600*C?** A: I have no way of measuring the temperature of the wire. I use a BMOUO 12V 30A DC Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply 360W ordered from Amazon. I used a dimmer switch to control output to Nichrome wire. This setup was enough to make the wire glow red hot and even burn in two if adjusted too high. **Q: Can i use this wire for a pendant lamp, like a electrical wire?** A: No.please don’t ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value Nichrome Wire for Ceramics and Kiln Use *by on Reviewed in the United States 24 December 2025* This Nichrome 80 20 gauge wire is a great value and works very well for ceramics.
