About 20 turns give or take, Im not sure of the ga (I salvaged it from a TV yoke) but it looks to be the same size as the original wire, the loop is about 1/2 inch wide when finished. The epoxy is thin and dries flexible, I have also used clear fingernail polish and it didnt crack either. It helps if someone can hold/stretch the tape loop for you while you wind it. Todd
