Super Softstrand, Vinyl-Coated Stranded Stainless Steel Picture Wrapping Wire, Size #5, 43 lb / 20 kg, 80 ft / 24 m

This is a lot easier to work with an tighten up than uncoated woven picture wire. This is the same stuff the Hobby Lobby picture framing people use. Recommended!

Buyer beware. Not matter what, this will NEVER hold 48 pounds. Attempted to hang a 15 pound photo by not only wrapping ends of cording as indicated on packing but taping ends as well and I barely caught the photo before it fell off the wall.

Easy to work with, strong and well made. Wouldnt bother to look further than this wire for your pictures.

Coating makes a refined touch!

Really nice to work with. Plastic coated and doesn’t stab your fingers. Great product!

If you find yourself doing your own framing or have a need to frame and hang a large number of pictures, get this wire. It is plastic coated. When used with the recommended tie and wrap method, this framing wire makes for a very professional looking job that is durable and so easy on your fingers. You can find several YouTube videos on the proper wiring method to hang a painting. That method seems to be made for this Softstrand wire. If you are an artist and doing your own framing, your customers will appreciate the quality this wire adds to your work when presented for framing. Softstrand comes in different gauges suitable for a wide range of sized paintings. It is the only wire I will use

So far, Ive used this to wire two picture frames and am very happy with the result. It was surprisingly easy to work with, and held its shape when I wound the loose end around the wire in a tight spiral to finish the knot. No pierced fingers, easy to cut with a small pair of wire cutters, and seems very sturdy. It provides a professional, finished appearance, too.

Wish I knew about this product years ago

It’s good wire

Best there is!
