I had a similar experience with my secondary.  It had been completed for some 
time, but it got knocked over one day when it was removed from my coil. Some 
of the wire came loose, and I got those bumps on its surface. As of yet, I 
have had no problems with corona or arcing at the points where the wire 
sticks up, mostly it just makes my secondary look ugly. The best thing to do 
is just to leave it as it is. I tried to carefully unwind part of my 
secondary and then rewind it, since one of the bumps was pretty close to the 
end. Now it looks even worse than it did before. I just recoated the whole 
thing to keep the wire from shifting around and it seems to work fine.
