Anything that will hold the spiral into shape without conducting
electricity will be fine. A few people have managed not to have any
support, just a spiral lying on plastic. However, that seems really hard
to get just right. Even electrical tape may be a thought.
Tye-wraps have been used by many people with great success. You will need
a lot of them... Do not get the black UV type. They may contain
conductive carbon.
Cheers,
Terry
