Tips for working with wire

1. Before starting your project, carefully unwind (straighten) the wire.
2. Wire is reasonably strong when wrapped, however it is weakened when it is wound and then unwound and then re-wound. You will be tempted to unwind the wire if the wrapping doesn't appear perfect. This should be avoided since the wire will be weakened and may break with continuous winding and unwinding.
