Does this stuff have an insulated wire in it, or is it just hollow with fluid
inside?
It's actually a coaxial cable, or hardline, with a copper outer tube and a
separate inner wire separated by some kind of insulation, which is probably a
mineral powder packed in there. I think you can also just buy 1/8" copper
tubing, and this might be easier to use, but a bit harder for the average
person to come across.
