Ill give it a go. Tried that technique with 36 and i agree it puts way too much tension on the core. Anyway idk why the twisting is so much worse with 40g i got enough to do 1 coil before running for help!

I strech it then it twists as its draped over my side table and lay on the floor. The second time i did it i let it work the twisting tension it built up after the strech. I did that by letting it drape ober my hand as i mobed from the anchor to the end. That helped a little but i think ill just either get some 38 or learn to do it the other way.40g is a big jump. 38g is perfect for me and 40g is still pretty hard to lay down with no gaps.
When is it twisting up like that?
When you stretch or when you wrap?
I have to lay my decore on the floor and move any obstacles or similar stuff happens.
Also I only wrap aliens in 2 sections so my decore is shorter.
I make one 12" piece of decore, cut it in half then wrap 4" of core then I hook my next decore on the tail of the last one.
40g SS over 5ply with 27g n80 frames:
0.1ohm. Perfect build for a reload on a tube.
