Title: DIY Dew Strips - one for Duncan
Post by: mickw on Oct 28, 2010, 08:51:21
Couple of questions for Duncan

When making the Constantan (resistance wire) dewheaters are you leaving an air space between the turns ?
Are you using the stuff from Maplins ?

This place sells the wire at half the price and with loads of different sizes
