Michael,
Huh? how do you coat something with mica?

Also, I would respectfully suggest that you forget about building a variac. A 
ten or 15 Amp
variac is an essential tool for anyone playing with electricity. I would 
expect to pay around $150. Even pricey Newark had a nice one on sale just 
recently. I mounted my variac
in a wooden box with AC volt and ammeters. Cheap ones like the kind you can 
get from
Marlin Jones or Radio Schlok. I also have it fused. :-))

Cheers,
