The biggest thing is to make sure the wires go in straight. Kinks or twists will make life miserable later. I've seen people pull Romex off the center of the roll, without unrolling it. It makes a mess; bad enough when pulling through rafters but it's a disaster in conduit.
You should. Obviously.
It doesn't matter what *YOU* have on hand. #12 works just fine and is about 1/3 the cost of #10.
Almost *NEVER*. In this case, it's *STUPID* to even suggest it.
Wrong. There is no corners cut at all. You're lying, just to make some sort of point. You're wrong. Step up to it.
What *YOU* did *100 YEARS* ago is irrelevant.

Why not put the compressor where the power is, and run an air hose? Then we could argue about ths size of the hose.

Actually, that's what I plan to do. Put the compressor in the garage and pipe the air downstairs. 4" oughtta do it. ;-)
I just have to figure out how much work it's going to be (how things line up).
Hose? What's wrong with iron pipe? Good old fashioned black iron pipe. That has been beat to death on news:rec.crafts.metalworking
I know that you're a fool.
Where is it in the NEC that you can 'spiral the wires'? They don't even allow you to tape them
Where does it say I can't twist them as I feed them?
You're the one inventing "machine shops" out of thin air. Go figure.

Pressure would remain constant. Flow *can be* constricted over that distance.
Think hysteresis. Pressure does have a slight drop as one "loads" the available flow (stored energy). Once you cross that threshold and the flow rate becomes the bottleneck, pressure can drop on a continuous duty "draw".
Just run plastic pipe. They even have tool-free fittings for pneumatic service.
Pretty expensive at the per foot level compared to modern plastic solutions.
And hose would work too.
The plastic (PVC) I've seen is *not* recommended for air supply. It will shatter. Do you have other information? Cite?
PVC can shatter and fling bits at high velocity. Other plastics are better for air.
If a PVC pipe is pressurized by water, and it breaks, the shards have a much lower velocity than if the pipe carried air.

Only takes about a fifteen foot length to toss over the rafter in the garage. One loop around the neck, a little hop off the step ladder, and you won't need any wire any more.
-- Clearly it's difficult to pull #36 wire through conduit, but with your professed expertise in all things non-trivial, one would think you'd relish, rather than detest, the challenge.
You're as clueless as Michael. Actually more, since I corrected the tupo some time back.
-- You really didn't, since all you made reference to was the missing # sign, but not its location in the string. Sloppy work all around, but then that's just you...
Not 36 gauge. 36 wires in the bundle to be pulled.
Pully Bully
You really are as stupid as DimBulb. Look what's above the "3" on your keyboard.
No, you simply can't think, but that's nothing new to anyone here.
