Hi Ben,

I've tried the spray on adhesive.  Once again, it works fine for winding the
coil (to a point) but as soon as polyurethane is added it all comes
unraveled.

Hello all,
  Has anyone tried using spray on adhesive? Like the kind
that you use to stick sand paper to a disc sander.. or any
spray-on adhesive for that matter.. it usually stays tacky
for a long time and should have enough stength to hold the
wire..
