Billy right on the $$ for the tape on the spool. Here is another way to put the wire on solo. You need a tennis ball,screw driver and a vise. put the screw driver thru the wire spool then put the screw driver thru the tennis ball then put the blade of the screw driver in the vise push the screw driver in the vise until you have good tension on the wire spool and your all set you can adjust the tension on the spool just by pushing in on letting out it works great.
