Default wire shielding materials?

Is anyone using wire shielding? If so, what are you using?

I'm looking to use some kind for my AX that is glitching like crazy still. I have replaced everything but the Rx and figure I am getting it from wires too close to each other and the antenna. I'm starting with twisting them then want a RF shield.

You can use ferrit loops. They are the black rings that look like a magnet that you will find inside some electronic devices. You can buy them at rat shack.

They aren't always black, they can be any colour. Find a power supply, rip out a coil, and cut all the wires of the coil. You will be left with a ferrite ring.

Pretty much anything that changes voltage has a ferrite ring in there somewhere. Power supply's, battery chargers, transformers, etc

I had a bunch or those laying around for years. Now, to find them will be fun...

Thanks - good idea.
