Re: [TCML] Secondary Troubles

Hey Phillip...

once upon a time long long ago in a galaxy far away it was common 
practice to run the wire inside the form. But thru the modern invention 
of Email, we learned that it doesnt work too well.  Get some 120 grit 
paper and sand as well as you can to remove the carbon and coat with 
some type of poly urethane..  Should reduce the tendancy to arc in the 
tube....

dont give up    learning is full of mistakes especially when you are 
learning on your own...

   I've managed to clean up very deep tracks in a shellacked cardboard 
secondary form [don't shudder, works just fine] by using a round rasp to 
dig out all the burned stuff, followed by a wire brush.  Sand over the 
rough spots and, in my case, more shellac and all has been well for 
years.  Another case where I had wire inside the form that wasn't necessary.
