"Fishing line will most probably be a worse insulator than good
brand of coating so you may be better off if you have coating
between some not-so-good plastic between the turns."

	I wound with monofilament line and then pulled it off
after giving the whole coil a light coating of urethane varnish.
Came off cleanly and leaft uniform wire spacing.  Of course,
couldn't notice any difference in coil performance.........
