You mean the insulation should be sild off the wire an additional 1/4" AFTER the wire is cut to 2.5", thus leaving 1/4" of empty sleeve at the end oppostite the vise, right? > Now on the end with the copper make a 15 to 20 deg. bend > about 3/4" > from the copper end. Do you attach the 1/4" of insulation sleeve to the motor shaft w/crazy glue (as I know of no mechanical hose clamp that's that small)? #14 insulation is bigger than the tiny shaft on the motor I bought. I'm also unsure about stirring w/ bare copper, as friction between the copper & water will cause some charging & colloidalization of the copper. Since you're already allowing for a couple inches of plastic in the water, and plastic is what's being glued to the shaft, why not just drill a tiny hole (one that fits the motor shaft *snugly*) into a narrow stip is rigid plastic (of the same dimensions as a paint stirring stick) and glue that to the shaft? For that matter, my original idea was just to use wood--e.g., a paint stirrer--since I'm doubtful as to the durability of the glue bond to plastic.
