Only secondary I built that I put baffles in  was a 12" dia. I used 3/8" 
Lexan for the baffle disks, siliconed into place at  1/3 from each end. PVC 
"green" pipe.
    No internal flashovers.

    Four without baffles, from 2" dia to 6" dia, no  internal flashovers.

>3) For all flashovers, please indicate if  there was any identifiable cause.


Worst damage was on the 6" where I'm pretty sure  a flaw in the PVC pipe wall 
caused a major burn. It didn't penetrate to the  interior. 
    I've had lots of strikes from various points on  the secondary to the 
primary, but no "flashovers" along the secondary  itself.
