Step three loop the coil into a ~16" ring, wrap that ring with electrical tape, and connect a line cord to the leads of the coil (make sure the cord is over 7' long if you do not want to use extension cords). Step four: test it out. If it does not get too hot to hold in ~4-9 minutes it should be good enough to get the job done.
Or, there are several coils available on the bay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40. Prices vary. The larger coils work best.
