Re: Pringles pot as form for small secondary

["Grayson B Dietrich" <electrofire-at-xxxxxxxx> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

A Pringles can has foil on it's inner layer, I believe. I once wound a
secondary on one myself, not realizing this until after I had spent a few
hours of winding by hand...   ...I was able to salvage the coil through
carefully peeling the foil away from the the cardboard.
So you may be able to use it, just remove all the foil first.
