RE: space winding

Hi 
	Before painting or spraying varnish onto tape, do a test-piece first.
Some of these combinations dissolve into a gooey mess (As I've discovered
in other activities.... fortunately NOT when winding coils).

>From Ken Herrick,  2 comments on the 2 ideas:  I'd thought of something
like #1 but...what does one do about the >joint< that makes the loop of
fishing line or the like endless?  That joint will be a lump of some kind
and that lump will periodically progress along until it's interfering
with the lay of the wire.  Who's got a solution to that?

As for #2, I suppose you mean tape that's sticky both sides, like "carpet
tape".  That's what (I think) I plan to use.  Apply ~8 longitudinal
pieces before winding & space-wind the wire over them.  The stickiness
will hold the wire in place until it can be varnished or whatever. 
Comments, anyone?
