All..

  A quick note on GTO-15 H.V. wire.  I found out by accident by going to
different neon sign shops, that there are 2 different types of GTO-15.  One is
polyethylene as you mention, and another has a silicone jacket.  I personally
like the silicone better as it won't melt, and only slightly higher in price.
It also bends much easier.
