 	I used this idea last year in constructing the small toroid that I
 have.  I used a 15"(?, not sure) wheelbarrow tire and stuffed it with
 newspaper for rigidity.  I then covered it in Al tape, then smoothed.  It
 works fairly well, but I have since moved on to a Duct toroid, as this one
 wasn't large enough for my six inch coil.  I plan to wind a 4" sometime
 soon, and then the wheelbarrow tire will again see service.

I want to rub down a tire of this size with graphite and somehow keep it
under a solution of CuSO4 and plate it with copper to a thick coating. I just
dont know how to keep it covered with solution with air in it and it has to
have the air to maintain shape. Any ideas?  Stephen
