Can I use more than one strand of Beadalon jewelry wire in a single crimp tube or is it only safe to use one wire per crimp?
You can double up the wire within a crimp tube. Just make sure that you have a crimp tube that accommodates the wire. For example, we recommend a #3 crimp tube for wire diameters between .024″ .026″. If you are using a .013″ diameter wire you would have enough space to put them both through and double back to make the crimp. You do not need to do this however. As long as you are using the appropriate wire for the design you making, the wire and the crimp should be strong enough without having to double up.
