About the No. 6 Braided Wire
- .080" Diameter
- 650-foot spool
- 28 lbs. Maximum Picture Weight
The method illustrated below is the correct way to attach picture wire to most picture frame hangers. The final wrapping loops should be tight, as shown, but they need not extend a great distance along the wire.
Leave enough slack in the wire so that when it is pulled taut up against the back of the frame, the center (highest) point of the wire reaches about half the distance between an imaginary straight line drawn between the two hangers and the top of the frame.
