    Thanks Tubs for your reply suggesting trying various ideas. You certainly got me thinking. I Googled “using steel instead of iron” and  made an interesting discovery. Steel will work , but the magnetic field created will not collapse as it does with using iron, resulting in a heat build up that will destroy the coil.

    I have found that wire ties used in setting up reinforcing steel are iron, so I will get some and see what happens.

    Thanks again for your help.
