I second that one.  The teflon sleeving you buy seems different from what 
is usually on coated wire.  It seems softer, and it stays bent better.

I really dislike teflon coated wire, although I use it because it was what 
I could get at the salvage place I used to go to.

My favorite solid hookup wire is some #28 with a real thin coating that I 
also picked up out of scrap. I don't know what the insulation is, but it 
doesn't melt easily and it *does* strip easily.  I've looked all over for 
something similar, but can't find anything like that being made.  Probably 
a potential fire hazard or something. (quivver)

I aslo like telephone wire, but the old kind was better that what you get 
now, which is way too soft.

Why does the good stuff always go away?
