Default Re: Still having problems with wire

Hmmm... it's most definately is 5xxx alloy (as marked on your package).
That only leaves the ano process. There must be some variable between this run, and your successful previous runs. I have to think that the thinner wire may be heating up.
Is it possible that the coil of thinner wire is creating a resistor? Maybe a test run of un-coiled wire.
Sorry, it's the only thing I can think of right now.
