 --all,

my coil #2 uses an 8.25 inch wide coil form.  i got some of that shiney
green "rain
drain" PVC.  its very solid material, and works great throwing 40" sparks
at 120
mA.  at first light i was getting arcs up along the secondary which i
thought was
due to the form being conductive... but i sprayed a coat of epoxy over the
trouble
spots and now it works great!
