Wiregram

Hello everyone,

I hope things are going well for you all.

A few months ago I bought the Scorpion UV kit from Ellusionist. It's a great piece of kit, in my opinion. There is a review of it here: http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic15996.php.

To my cost I found out that you cannot bring the wiregram into direct contact with flame. My wiregram no longer forms itself into the shape it is supposed to. It kind of does, but it is loose and vague.

So, I was wondering if anyone knew a way of repairing the thing so that it conforms itself to the shape of the symbol more tightly. Otherwise I'll just have to buy a new one, I suppose.

All the best
Gary

Try heating it up until the wire goes red then bend it to the shape you want. and it should stay. If that doesn't work just buy a new one, their not that expencive anyway!
