Re: Coat the secondary or not?

An uncoated coil, if free of any nicks or cracks,  works and looks good if
, , ,   if nothing goes wrong. A coated coil adds extra insulation to the
coil and is resistant to being bumped or coated with dust. The windings
don't move as temprature changes and is easy to wipe clean.
