High-temperature kiln work demands wire that won't sag, oxidize, or contaminate your pieces when the heat climbs past 2000°F. This special alloy maintains structural integrity through cone 5 firing, supporting bottle slumping projects, propping beads during multiple firings, and creating custom stilts for irregular forms. The wire holds its shape under load where standard materials would collapse or leave unwanted residue on your work.

Choose between two gauges based on your application: 17-gauge HTW provides robust support for heavier glass bottles and substantial ceramic forms, while 24-gauge HTS offers flexibility for delicate bead work and intricate kiln furniture modifications. Both resist oxidation throughout extended firing cycles, eliminating the metal deposits that can ruin carefully planned surface treatments.

Each 10-foot length gives you material for multiple projects, bend custom cone holders, fabricate element pins for kiln repairs, or build specialized supports for complex slumping setups. The wire cuts cleanly and shapes predictably, whether you're solving a one-time loading challenge or creating reusable furniture for production work.
