Wire choice
#18
Anyone here try silicone wire? I got some from digikey rated at 600V.
Just recieved them today  and I'm thinking of using them for heater wiring. Reason being the insulation doesn't melt off the wire while soldering. It's a pain when you wire everything up and when soldering time comes the insulation peels right off for pvc.  
These are stranded wire and it seems really malleable. Meaning it feels like solid core and bends to shape easily.  The insulation itself is really soft so there's not much resistance when bending. I guess the tinned copper also contributes to the wire to take a form

Here is the part number 
3135-20-1-0500-002-1-TS
