Hi Michael -

Yes, the form is wire.  If you look at my picture you can see the brown
twine they used to push the paper down onto the wire to form the hose.
that's the twine I was talking about.  It's very strong twine so I think I
can just reuse it rather than using thread or something like that.

Cheers,

Alan
