Nichrome wire

=Articles in this series=

=Acquisition= Nichrome wire is easily obtained from appliances you have in your house, appliances from thrift stores, and online. Appliances can contain multiple gauges and may have something less like a wire and more like a ribbon (perhaps more appropriately termed heat tape, but usage is similar and both will be addressed as wire). Online stores usually offer spools of a single gauge of wire and may mark it as foam cutting wire. You could also buy heat tape and take it apart, but this is more expensive.
