But I like looking like a weirdo! :roll:

Instead of plastic "tree" try using strofoam "peanuts"or other strofoam packaging, just melt the foam with plastic glue in a old bottle, and there you go.If it's too thin add more foam, if to thick ad more glue. Works well as a filler and dries quickly.

I straighten wire by using two pairs of pliars grab the wire ,or solder, at each end and pull tight. Works for me.
