This transparent PVC-coated aluminium wire solves all three problems in a single spool, giving hobbyists and makers a reliable foundation for projects that need to hold their shape without constant reworking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach length consists of an aluminium core wrapped in a smooth, transparent PVC jacket. The wire is available in three core diameters — 1.5 mm (~1\/16 in), 2.0 mm (~5\/64 in), and 3.0 mm (~1\/8 in) — with cut lengths ranging from 1 metre to 20 metres (approximately 3.3 ft to 65.6 ft). The transparent coating preserves the natural silver-grey tone of the aluminium while adding a tactile, slightly grippy surface that holds knots and wraps securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include hand-formed jewellery components and beading armatures, three-dimensional sculpture and figure-making for art classes, bonsai branch training and garden trellis ties, and floral arrangement wire for securing stems and foliage. The combination of low weight, easy cutting with standard wire cutters, and rust-free aluminium core makes this wire a go-to material for transparent PVC-coated aluminium wire projects both indoors and outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚙️\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with standard wire cutters, round-nose pliers, and flat-nose pliers.
