Yeah, if you consider someone who's wearing only two wraps of clear Saran
Wrap to be "clad."

The mild steel MIG wire I've had here comes with a copper flash on it that I
think is juuust enough to keep it from rusting
indoors.

I've heard of hams who tried it for antennas, etc, and it rusted through in
short order.
