Snipperzz...

Hi C ...    ( isnt that a drink?  ;) ) 

for 15/60 power  the secondary wire of choice is    double formvar #22
magnet wire    about 45$ for a 10 Lb spool ( about 5000 feet )   for
added protection ...   after the sec is wound   several coats of a good
polyuerethane varnish is applied to the coil    let dry for 24 hours
between coats for a great finish ...
