Hi Group,
My pottery supplier (Mile High) doesn't carry high temp wire in a spool.
I am going to use it to attach fiber to the walls of a new kiln I'm
building (using the button method) Could someone suggest a source for
this type of wire?
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

In a pinch...purchase a new heating coil for any kiln, the largest diameter
wire possible, tie it securly to a tree and the front bumper of your auto,
back up slowely until the wire streches out and wa la....cheap wire. Works
great with unfired coils. Usualy get about 30 feet!

Good luck Tracy
