My copper IC, take about 40 hours. 8-24 hours they lose a little volume, and the tone control gets a pretty good work out. 20-40 hours the volume comes back and the tone is pretty flat.
Silver or silver clad, 100 + hours. Silver clad is the worst. The thinner the silver, the longer it takes and may stay hyper bright.
Mill spec wire, works a lot better.. Certain covers, like PVC, teflon, polyvinyl, latex, (tight covers) take the longest time (200 hrs)
Oversize tube, free air, or (Texas) cotton, with 1" teflon tape wrap, 100 hours or so..
Enjoy
