Can I twist it?

[david84]

So I like twisting wires keeps me busy when it's slow in the shop up until now I've just twisted basic wire various gages and strand amount.

So my question is could I twist a few strands of pre claptoned wire together or would bugger up the claptonizeation(sp ?) of the wire only ask as it's the shops wire not mine.

Thanks in advance for all of your help cheers

The trick is to keep the tension on the wire through out the whole process that should stop it from kinking
