That's 5 times what you pay for coiled wire Xavier! Xavier if I were to build a lo...

Very clever Kim. I see. Thank you very much.

I started building track 10 years ago. I seem to remember having trouble using coiled music wire with soft foam insulation board (XPS). I think other people also had trouble with coiled wire.
