Hi, All

I recently got 65 pounds of Essex (Polybondex) Magnet Wire for 
Free!!! I know the wire is really big, but can I use it on a 4in 
diameter coil? I was thinking of increasing the height of the
secondary to compensate for the wire size. If I can't use it, where
can I find a form big enough to be able to use the wire? I was 
thinking of maybe using that green plastic stuff that is used in gas 
mains. Anyone know where can I get a couple feet? 

Happy Coiling
