Hi,
	Since MOTs are rather small I have never tried to rewind one.  
Bigger the core you find less primary turns you have to wind, less 
secondary turns, and more room for more insulation.  I think the 
easiest way to rewind a MOT would be to just to cut it into a E 
and a I.  Slide off the old windings that you want to replace and 
slide on the new ones.  I wouldn't bother to weld the transformer 
back together.  When power is supplied to the transformer it will 
pull its core together so all you have to do is keep the transformer 
from falling apart when your not using it.
