Re: Silicone coated wire
It could be quite good... tough enough thermally to resist soldering temperatures.
A lot of it I've come across is matt surfaced and will hold marks. Like most rubbers it will split over sharp edges. A lot of it is ultra-flexible with many strands of fine wires, so it might be a bit floppy.
At radio rallies, I keep an eye open for part spools of aviation type 'Kynar' wire. it's a bit better behaved than silicone. People think it's pure ptfe and a swine to bare, but it's not bad. Prices are terrifying, new. But keep your eyes open and snag any at a good price.
