You might consider a big toroid, like my 63"/15" toroid, produced
by a tube-insulating workshop (don't know, if in the US such
workshops are usual, however). It would save you a lot of work,
and is relatively cheap. To see, how it's manufactured, please

The way it's looking when on top of the coil is at:
