Wire has a maximum weight rating of approximately 13 grams per inch (or 82 grams per 6" wire) resulting in some deflection of the wire. For little to no deflection, the wires should carry no more than 3.5 grams per inch (or 20.75 grams per 6" wire).

Note: If you are firing to cone 6 wires will have a tendency to bend under the weight of the beads.
For best results move the racks closer together and have beads on the outside of the racks as well as on the inside of the racks (see second photo). Maximum firing temperature is Cone 10 (2400 F).
