Default Substitute wire in Trap?

Hi,
I am replacing the wire in a trap on my 3 element Tri-Band beam
antenna...
The wire is 25 turns of approximately 10 gauge on a 1.210 inch form
diameter, with a coil length of 3 inches(these numbers are
approximate).
I am unable to get the exact gauge(10 AWG) of wire and was wondering
if there would be any adverse effects in using a slightly smaller
gauge wire in place of it,say 12 gauge or so...?

Any help with this would be greatly Appreciated
Thank You
