Greetings,
I recently ran across a good deal on deal on *untinned* 22ga solid hookup
wire that will be used primarily on solderless breadboards and other
projects for a design lab at a University.
I realized that most of the wire that I have used recently for breadboarding
circuits in pre-tinned.  I understand that there are probably more
complicated issues concerning production and high-volume work, but I am only
concerned about the one-of projects and prototypes.

Am I going to get myself in trouble if I buy 1000' of untinned copper wire?
I guess I'm just thinking twice about it because it was about 1/2 price and
on "surplus".

Issues I can think of are:
-oxidation of copper.
-ease of solder of pre-tinned wires.

Are there other issues?  I can't remember having any problems before.  I
can't even remember it being an inconvenience.

Thank you,
Chip
