Simple? Simple???humans tend to have more experience in the physical realm than simple programs.
A Q-tip would probably work ok, but if you use a screwdriver or other smooth metal cylinder, it will be easier to get the coil off it without distorting it. Carbon residue is no big deal, but you can use alcohol, no problem.I was thinking of using a q-tip but I wasnt sure if it would be rigid enough. If I used a regular Bic light to oxidize the wire, what would u reccommend I soak the coil in afterwards to remove carbon residue? Would rubbing alcohol work or would that mess up the kanthal?
