    I was recently asked to do some 14K gold wire wrap for a friend
    of mine. My past experience with wire wrap has been strictly
    gold-filled  and sterling wire.  I have heard that there is a
    difference in hardness between solid 14K wire and gold-filled
    wire, and that quarter-hard 14K may be more rigid (or less) than
    quarter-hard gold filled. Do any of you wrappers out there have
    recommendations regarding the hardness of 14K that is best for
    wrapping?
