hi, might want to use a piece of cloth pinched with a clothespin for a wire
tensioner. I use that and a little drag on the wire coil so it wont
birdcage. I birdcaged a 5 lb roll of #46 wire, after that the longest piece
you could get off the roll was 6 inches. I threw it into a hot fire in the
fireplace and it made nice colored flames and burned up et. all. cul brian
