With this short aspect ratio be sure to use a few insulating disks inside
the sec coilform approx 5-6 inches in on each end --- this will prevent
internal flashover and burning of coilform on the inside where you can't see
it until it is too late.  Been there -- done that with coilforms under 2.5:1
.aspect ratio.  Silicone in place with a large 1/4 inch bead of GE Silicone
II.
