I want to keep the tiny SEN-00245 isolated from the wires - meaning I don&rsquo;t want my hookup wires acting like a little heat sink. I&rsquo;ll report back how well this works after I get the steel wire in hand, it is on backorder for a week.

I would love to have a larger spool too.</p> Customer #508945 urn:uuid:e967ed0a-f1bc-b88e-553d-babe3bc4f401 2014-01-15T16:41:56-07:00 <p>big question is can you wash it</p> alicia gibb urn:uuid:8861b8a5-7032-4aae-e884-815d88228cb6 2013-02-20T11:19:32-07:00 <p>Is this the 2ply or 4ply thread?</p> Customer #365070 urn:uuid:6f483914-0343-0955-cc71-b08f6bd5f491 2012-10-02T12:18:29-06:00 <p>I am looking to integrate the heating pads into clothing. Could this safely carry 5-9 volts?</p> UrielGuy urn:uuid:b722d37d-da43-1e2d-a2d8-4404adaedb4a 2012-07-10T10:43:18-06:00 <p>Hey. I was wondering, how consistent is the resistance? Can I use it to measure distance? or the length of the thread? Also, Can you specify some of the mechanical properties of the thread? Breaking load i what interests me the most.</p> <p>Uriel</p> dyilmaz urn:uuid:1f8922fd-4fc5-d9b3-eb68-a69f91b8645a 2012-05-16T04:32:19-06:00 <p>unroll &amp; use old fashion silk isolated AM antenna bobine instead of this. This is the cheapest and best solution! Before using it if you would like to you can colour it also&hellip;</p> letapjar urn:uuid:41f9a105-0b9c-3335-3908-cf2134a2c1b5 2012-01-27T07:56:29-07:00 <p>This bobbin did NOT have 60 feet of thread. It was more like 30 feet. Half-way through a project I ran out :( - a Larger spool would definitely be helpful.</p> Nick Poole urn:uuid:d2ad1086-9aef-91bc-3c54-32cd9707d181 2011-12-12T13:10:58-07:00 <p>I added some information above. The resistance is measured at about 28 Ohms/foot. We actually don&rsquo;t carry the larger spools of this thread although we may in the future depending on demand. Being made from stainless steel fibers it holds up very well to gentle machine washing, although depending on what components you sew to your project you may consider hand washing for their sake.</p> salsa urn:uuid:fc9dce1a-4ae0-a832-32ad-9859d2a531ef 2011-11-15T22:26:44-07:00 <p>Which &ldquo;entire spool&rdquo; is this a smaller portion of? What is the resistance per foot? I&rsquo;m very interested in sewing more circuits into clothes, but wonder about washability&ndash; how does this stand up to (gentle) machine washing? Thanks for any details you can offer!</p>
