There are two opinions on coating coils.  One camp says "don't even bother".
The other says "coat until the whole thing is smooth".  Both "campers" are
very experienced coilers.  I tend to side with the coat it camp.  The main
reason for this feeling is that I know myself.  I know that I'll eventually
drop the secondary or accidentally hit it with a shovel or something else
in the garage, or whatever.  The coating of epoxy doesn't appear to hinder
the performance, and provides necessary armor for my coils.
