How Not To Use Our Wire
Olympic’s branded line of baling wire may serve many uses and purposes, however this one may not be ideal (we’re posting this post Thanksgiving so as not to give anyone ideas). From dallasnews.com
Trussing: Strictly optional
Mr. Bass has fried both trussed and untrussed turkeys; the difference is a matter of aesthetics. If you prefer the look of a trussed bird, use baling wire instead of cooking twine to hold the legs in place; the wire withstands the high oil temperatures best.
In more serious news, Steel Guru reports on the fluctuating price of steel wire rod in the overseas market. How this will affect domestic manufacturers and suppliers remains to be seen.
It is reported that Taiwanese domestic wire rod prices have risen from TWD 11,000 per tonne to TWD 15,000 per tonne during the past 3 weeks.
The price of killed steel wire rod has hiked in line with increasing rebar price, as the current price of diameter 5.5mm is TWD 22,000 to TWD 23,000 per tonne which has totally risen by TWD 7,000 to TWD 8,000 per tonne.
