It's been a while since I posted here. I am looking fro a good source for AWG 42 and 43 magnet wires either in the US or Canada. Can somebody offer me some help? Thank you very much.

Not sure if Remmington knows the difference between "Enamel" and "Poly", check out this page:

Well it is enamel, just not "plain enamel."

I just got a big roll of 42 from them. It's nice wire. Elektrisola brand.

Can somebody define "enamel" to me?

If from the description is "Insulation: Solderable Polyurethane w/ Nylon Overcoat", where the "enamel" part comes in...?

It just means a hard and glossy coating of some kind, but it sounds good, so lots of manufacturers claim to make an enamel.

Enamel - Wikipedia

Well, it's really a kind of varnish, but it's also a kind of enamel.

Varnish originally was the oil part of oil paint, but without the pigment.

"An opaque or semitransparent glassy substance applied to metallic or other hard surfaces for ornament or as a protective coating."

Sorry gent's, IMHO when it comes to wire sellers, makers, distributors, etc, they of all people 'should' know the difference when listing it for customers who use it, where the term "Enamel" used by itself or with the word "plain" has always refers to a coating which is not Poly/Nylon.

I get them too. Cause seems to be the 28-sec min between posts. The mechanism is flawed: It claims that your post was refused and please wait, but in fact the posting did work, so when you post the second time, you end up with two posts. I find that simply returning to the original message or forum as if abandoning the posting works.

FYI on the Remington Industries, Elektrisola 42 SPN Red.
Received an email today from remington, that the red 42 SPN, will be available on Aug. 2nd.
They have been waiting for Elektrisola to make a run of the Red wire.
They will have 500 lbs available. Larry said they will have it listed on the website, and on their ebay store.
No I don't get a commission or a Kickback.
There has been other winders looking for the red wire for their T-top rewinds.
Contact Larry at Remington, if you are a volume winder and buy more than one roll of wire, you will qualify for volume discounts.

On my end is just asks if I want to leave the page, because I entered text.

I click on stay on page, then refresh, and then leave page.

Doesn't happen every time either.

Exactly the same here and not every time.

I do the same. Has not been needed, but Murphy lurks.
