Super Soft Strand Wire

Post by Kenneycm »

With Mr Orange and his tariffs hitting the world, it seems that very few UK suppliers are now stocking Super Softstrand wire. I have just cleaned out Framers Equipment of the stock they had but does anyone know of a UK supplier still bringing stock of this into the UK? (primarily #4 that I am looking for)

Much as I try to avoid using them - and I guess only if all else fails - a shop reel is available on Amazon with 2-3 days despatch time.

Lion do one with their own label on it - it’s what I always used and it’s no different.

Just been given the heads up that LJ will be bringing it back into stock as thier cheaper copy is garbage. I have some of the lion stuff here too but its just not as plyable as the super softstrand
