The moonshine is code for their coating. I'm not sure if the unwound strings are coated or not though.
I think you're right Bazz. I don't think "coated" is the same as "cured." I've been using a set of Mapes 80/20's for the past month or so and I don't think there's another material coating the string. I have some Octacotres in waiting, but to my understanding the main difference between those and most other strings is the eight sided core wire. So far though I do really like the Mapes 80/20's.
