 I use poly box tape wrapped around the coilform inverted, (sticky side
 out).
 This not only creates a seal between the windings and the form, but it
 holds the wire VERY well.
 Take care,

Jeff and Marc M.,
I use a motor / variac winding jig. While keeping a constant tension on the 
wire, I let my
index finger place the wire on the cleaned pvc tube. If you just place the 
wire within maybe 1/8 inch of the previous turn you will find that the wire 
slides naturally
in place right up against the previous turn. The coil just about  winds 
itself. Winding 
the wire on a sticky surface may not be the best way.
