I seem to have missed the originating posting on this topic.  I
space-wind this way, using a sonotube:  1.  Slather the tube with a
water-repellant such as Jasco Water Sealant II & let it dry.  2.  Wind
closely onto it 1 layer of cotton twine; I used a 0.06" dia. size.  3. 
Wind firmly over that 1 overlapped layer of 0.003" x 2" wide teflon
plumber's tape.  4.  Using the spiral groove presented by the twine, wind
on the wire.  5.  Secure the wire in place with several longitudinal
stripes of polystyrene "Q-dope"; I used 8 for a 12"-dia. coil.

That the wire may not remain, here & there, in the rather slight
twine-groove I have found to be immaterial, as long as varnished wire is
used--preferrably of the "heavy coated" variety.
