However, as we already know, the superconductivity currently starts only at low temps and I think the wires are limited by a maximum current (max field density?)
If you handle the spool, NEVER lose the beginning of the wire, always fixate it, otherwise there might be a knots after some unspooling, then you might need to buy a new one.
