Cold Caustic Process of Nanocoating Copper Wire

COLD CAUSTIC NANOCOATING
COPPER WIRE

2.1 Gather Materials wire stripper, vinyl
gloves, safety goggles, coca cola bottle, cold
caustic liquid, 14 awg wire or smaller

Have a spray bottle of vinegar for safety. If caustic
gets on your skin spray vinegar on the area

Purchase bare copper wire will
make the job easier. Size 14 awg
wire or smaller

If you can only locate coated wire, The Klein Tools -
Katapult Wire Stripper/Cutter will
make this task MUCH easier

2.2 Measure approximately 4 inches
of wire and cut

2.5 Use pliers to bend the end of
the wire back towards itself

Notice that the end of the wire is NOT
touching itself

2.6 Bend the bottom wire in the
opposite direction

Notice the edge of the wire is
directly pointing back at the body of the wire.
The edge cannot be seen from behind.
