SBPatt 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2021 Bought a spool of UTC gold wire (small) recently and have found it to be much stiffer than any other wire of theirs; I have about 30 spools of various colors and sizes from x-small to medium and none of them are like this. Anyone else notice this? Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting; I just finished up a spool of gold (small) and it was definitely softer. I think I bought that one about 2 years ago.
