Hi All
Can anyone suggest whats best to use to hold the windings of an Air
Coil with about 7 turns, about 12mm long - I know i can use
polystyrene cement but are there any other options like maybe candle
wax ?
Thanks
Shelton.

If it's air wound, you're really supposed to use a large enough
gauge of wire to support itself.

I just saw an article that recommends polyurethane varnish to hold a
crystal radio's tuning coil windings in place so the insulation can be
sanded off for a wiper. The article said that shellac was
traditionally used but isn't really strong enough. Whatever you end
up with, be sure to test first to make sure it doesn't dissolve the
insulation on your wire!
