Using the core as a guide, cut the Teflon tube into 2 pieces the same length as the core.

Using the green magnet wire, insert one end into one of the Teflon tubes in the core allowing
approximately 1/2” hanging out. Make
12 turns
through the Teflon tubes in the core. Keep the
wire snug. One turn is once through each side of the core.
Using the red magnet wire, insert one end into the core (
not through the Teflon tubes
)
allowing approximately 1/2” hanging out. Make
3 turns
through the core.
Trim the wires so there is approximately 1/2” sticking out both sides of the core.
