I wind a few turns then place a piece of tape on top the wire to hold it in
place. I use a piece of tape every 2 in or so. After i have finished I dress
the beginning winding to streight and the end winding to streight then I put
3 drops of 5-min epoxi on the windings worked flat on each end to hold
everything in place.After it is hard I remove all the tape and coat my coil.
