Greg: While You may not nead spaced windings I like caution. It is said that
just because you are parinoid dosent meam some one is not out to get you.You
can space wind with VINAL insulated wire or wind a strand of
mono-filament-fishing line between wire strands as you wind. I like
weed-beater strand to space.I wind my coil and spray coat the coil to hold
every thing in place. When the coat is ferm I unwind my spacer strand and
coat with fiber-glass resin to provide insulation and strength. I hope this
helps you choose your path.
