RE: pvc pipe thickness.

LOL,

PVC melts at High temp 176F useful to 158F which would be the ideal "curing"
temp. Somewhere it needs to be said that at high frequencies PVC is lossy.
4" Polystyrene is dirt cheap from US Plastics, I believe, and requires no
prep work.

If one is trying to squeak every possible performance out of the coil,
well...

Personally I like cars that are not on the low HP edge because tuning and
wear make them real turtles. No so with Pole Pigs and chickens :-)

     Like most thermoplastics, PVC can soften and distort suddenly
without warning under such treatment. Guess how I know. :)
