Not a good idea. Flattening it will work-harden the copper and make it
more difficult to coil, the width will change from 1 to 1 1/2 inches and
affect the turn spacing, and if it were my coil, I would silver plate
it, polish it, and admire it in all its glory. Sounds like a wonderful
project. Be sure to post pictures when it is finished.
