Paul,

How about hand wrapping straight rod? I have a lathe that might 
simplify the process. I think I'll give it a try. What dimensions 
would you advise for coating 13" wide EAM? From what I've read 
1/2"x16" rod wrapped in .030" wire over 15". One problem will be to 
obtain perfectly straight rod. Also anchoring the ends securely with 
no increase in diameter. It doesn't seem like materials are critical. 
All stainless would be nice but I can't imaging adverse chemical 
reactions occurring with copper or carbon steel in the short period 
that they are in contact with the coatings. I'll hunt for materials 
this morning.

Bob
