I use the 1 lb coil canisters, extracting from the center of the coil. Mapes IG wire has a few wire ties which are snipped and the coil carefully installed in the canister and the lid secured. Only once have I been attacked by the Revenge of the Slinky. Before snipping, I place a small loop (1/2" or so) in the end and a 90 degree bend down about 2", this let's me fish the wire out of the canister. I also do this at the end of each usage. -- Regards, Jon Page
