I just received a sample of #12 Copperweld today and boy is it tough. This
raised a few questions.
How do you straighten the wire?
What sort of strain do you need to keep it tensioned over say a length of
200'?
How do you treat the ends, i.e. say fixing to a strain insulator? Crimp or
solder? I can't see you being able to twist this stuff much unlike copper.
How do you guys handle it?
