I'm really sorry for the delay in replying, I had to take some time away from DA to keep my sanity.
Tips on wire wraps... I actually don't do much of it so I'm probably not the person to ask. I work things out with cheap craft/hobby wire first and make notes if the wrap ends up complex (my notes will have sketches of digital photos attached.)
Other than that there's really no trick to it. Though if you tend to grip the pliers too hard like I do (which leaves marks) it helps to wrap your plier jaws with a bit of moleskin to cushion the wire.
thanks, i do tend to damage the wire a bit, and masking tape didn't help. i'll try a fabric. i must have some moleskin somewhere...
