I want to use this to repair my wind chime. How flexible is it?

It is very flexible. think of it as a fine rope. Very sturdy and strong. doesn't fray when working with it.

am not sure, but the one of the ends is made from rubber, so is some flexible

I have used this whisk several times and haven't had any issues with the wires bending or shifting out of shape. It's quite sturdy.

It's fairly flexible. It's a medium soft rubber. Might be a little big to wrap around a pipe of that size with it wrapping on itself. Maybe lengthwise it would work

it is stranded, so yes it is very flexible. anything with a unweighted turn diameter of 1/2 inch should do fine.

I would say it depends on the weight of the chime and if it's getting full wind or not. Mine is holding a small bird feeder and has started leaning over time. The metal is probably strong enough - the weak spot is the hold in the ground with the stake. You can also counteract that problem somewhat by staking it so that the three spikes of the stake are lined up with the wind, so the wind is pushing along the same axis (rather than sideways). But for the sake of your and your neighbors' sleep you might not want to hang a 5 foot-wind chime directly into the wind, anyways...

Eh, it's not the most flexible stuff I've ever used, but it's not that stiff either. It's about on par with any other low count stranded when it comes to flexibility. In general, the higher the strand count the more flexible the wire. Wire with silicon insulation is usually much more flexible as well. This stuff is nowhere near 'wet noodle' soft, but it can still be bent easily enough.

I highly doubt this will damage flexible s/s pipe. The rods and brushes are flexible. Works great on my pellet stove pipe.

It's made of flexible clear plastic with some metallic conductors embedded in the material. I'd think that you could safely bend it in a curve, but not bend it at a sharp angle.

I've used it for soft drawn copper up to 7/8", and 3/4" thinwall aluminum with success. The bending collars are made of heavy plastic and stood up to the copper and aluminum. You may be able to bend thinwall stainless but due to the hand actuated ratchet and plastic collars anything larger than 1/2" would be too much stress.

Yes. It is fairly flexible yet strong. No problem to twist/bend so whatever you make a mold of is easier to pop out.

I would not recommend doing that. Have not tried. It is bendable and flexible.

Hmm. Yes, it is flexible but it is intended to lay flat because of the wires which are inside the mat. Plus it probably wouldn't radiate enough heat. I don't think it will work for your intended use. I'd look at a new dog door. I had a door in my old house in PA so I understand what you want to fix although mine stayed flexible. Hope you can find a solution.

It's flexible enough to be bend 90° or more, however it seems to me that less than 60-70° would not permanently damage it.

Would not recommend it. It's basically for fixed object and not flexile item as you asked. It's a great product .

It's pretty stiff, not very flexible. Mine was broken out of the box, the base came unglued from the top of the unit..... I ended up epoxying it and it's been holding for now.

Yes, it is very flexible. Just plan it out before you start running the line.
