Hi

Interesting

I was speaking with a Mapes wire representative at the NAMM show today,
and he told me about a relatively new product they have.<br><br>
It is called International Platinum wire, and I gathered that it is
similar to International Gold except for an additional surface treatment
to make it resistant to corrosion.<br><br>
It is not plated or coated, but treated chemically somehow.<br><br>
