SuperSoftstrand 500-Feet Picture Wire Vinyl Coated Stranded Stainless Steel

I am using this to add a decent hanging wire to the back of the many large custom giclee canvas prints that I produce from my home studio. The final images are hung 1st in my home/studio, some are on temporary display elsewhere and soon some will be on sale at a local gallery. The covering makes hanging the art pieces much easier on the hands--and black oxidation doesnt get out of the plastic covering (if the wire oxidizes at all--havent seen it yet). Been using it since Fall 2012.

Very good wire! Soft coating, and flexible hold. Exactly what I wanted to hang frames and canvases.

I use this product to wire picture frames - it works well and the plastic coating makes it easier to handle.

I absolutely love this. So nice and much easier to work with than traditional picture hanging wire. I will never go back to traditional wire again.

Spool arrived broken / split - which will make it very difficult to use as this is a 500’ roll of wire.

I picked up a freshly framed print from a framer friend of mine and noticed how neatly his back wire was wrapped. I asked if he had a machine that does the wrapping so neatly. No, he said he uses this vinyl coated wire and that it just wraps neatly. I exhibit prints throughout the year and frame most of my own exhibit prints because they are fairly straightforward to frame (I give the more artistic frame jobs to my friend the professional) and until this day I had always used the bare stranded steel and not only was it messy, but it often left me with little bloody holes and slices in my fingers. As soon as I got home from the frame shop I logged onto amazon and looked for the vinyl coated wire. My framing life has been changed forever. This stuff is so easy to work with and just as my friend said, it wraps perfectly. I have no cut fingers and the wire feels incredibly secure. I wish I had known about this stuff before now. And this large roll is not going to be finished any time soon so it really is cost effective to purchase the wire this way. As far as I am concerned this is one of those near perfect products. BOTTOM LINE: if you do your own framing you arent going to find a better wire. Dont go back to those uncoated wires

This is it. When you want to hang your art, use this wire. Learn a couple of knots to tie off the ends and this wire will work outstanding!

I love that it is coated so my fingers dont get chewed up by the metal wire.

Great product. It is easy on the hands, sturdy, and theres plenty of it. I used it to make a grid on an empty picture frame, and I clip cards and photos to it. Worked very well for this purpose. The frame is large and there was still plenty of wire left over when I finished.

The product is is great and is just as advertised but it was inadequately packaged for shipping - a mailer envelope was used rather than a box - and so the plastic reel was broken off in several places during transport. I did not return it or request a refund because the plastic shielded wire was undamaged.
