Has anyone made interconnects using Duelund 2.0 Silver Foil?

Years ago, I made a pair of 1/8 width silver foil interconnects, for my home built tube preamp and 300B PP tube amps. 4 Nines silver from Myron Toback in NYC, individually wrapped in Teflon tape, then wrapped together.  Sounds good, but I just broke one, so I am looking for for maybe something a little different.
How would the Duelund foil work out, either lightly twisted together, or placed in sheathing, or wrapped together in teflon tape.
Or is the Helix design a better option, could that be used with foil or is the round wire a better option.  Since the Duelund foil is so expensive, I am looking for more of a proven design.  I will be using the KLEI Absolute Harmony  RCA plugs.
Thanks,
Jeff from Brooklyn

Millercarbon, that is exactly how I built my previous cable, and is how I would wrap the Duelunds, if I go with that.
Steve, Maybe I will try the Helix, maybe a bit less expensive if I do a single strand of silver. Which silver wire and gauge do you like?

Several weeks went by as I tend to overthink everything and I ordered 12 feet of VH Audio 18 awg OCC Silver and 48 feet of 16 awg Silver plated wire.  Unfortunately, I actually ordered 14 awg by mistake!  I want to do the double /double.  Would you guys build it with the 14 awg, single or double, or order some 16 awg?  Will the 14 awg even fit thru the KLEI Absolute Harmony connector?  This is for an interconnect between a tube preamp and amp.
