Craft Supplies Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best gauge of rusty wire for primitive crafts?
A: For general primitive and country crafting, a 18-gauge or 20-gauge wire is highly recommended. It is sturdy enough to hold shapes like curly star hangers or tendrils, yet flexible enough to wrap easily around wreaths and wood pieces without snapping.
Q: Does your rusty tin wire leave a residue when handling it?
A: Because our wire is naturally rusted to achieve an authentic, gritty vintage texture, it can leave a minor powdery rust residue on your hands during tight wrapping. We recommend wiping it down slightly or wearing lightweight gloves if you prefer a cleaner handling experience.
Q: Can I use your Brassager Darkening Solution on the raw craft wire?
A: Our pre-rusted wire is already fully patinated, but if you select raw, bare brass or unlacquered copper craft wires from our supplies line, they are 100% compatible with our darkening solutions. Simply clean the wire surface with steel wool before dipping to instantly trigger a dark, rich antique patina.
