I have 16 inch diameter pvc coil form that I have wound with teflon wire. I
have wound it THREE times! I was finally able to get the wire to stay in
place, but temperature changes sure cause problems. I do NOT recommend that
any one use teflon insulated wire or teflon forms for coils - it is just not
worth the heart-ache.
