Thanks for actual interesting content that can be engaged with, love it.
What do you do with that much unsleeved core?

Sadly I trash it 😟 I offered it to my wife for craft projects but it’s hard to find a use for hundreds of slippery synthetic white core wires multiplied by the number or strands in the core.

Yea I was thinking of ways to reuse the cores and couldn't think of anything, hence the question.
Without the sleeves it frays a lot.

Maybe filing for a pillow, idk.

Could be rather interesting pet toys if stuffed into a plushie or something

Yeah. It can’t even be used as candle wick as it’s fire retardant (at least the good ones are, the cheap one burn with a thick smoke.
