If using enameled magnet type wire use Dolph's AC-43 enamel.  It goes on
easily, air dries fast, can also be baked if desired, and provides good
turn to turn cementing.  We use 7 or 8 coats on all our coils.  Keep
rotation on for first 30 minutes of drying and then just let them set.  A
good magnet wire to use is any 105 degree C. wire such as Beldon
Polythermalize.
