We sell some cool brush on electrical tape at work (Auto parts store)
for like 2 bucks.
Put a bunch of coats on the backsides of the clip and it should work for
you.

Yes,

I also had a problem with this in my coil.
The tap you are using, whatever it be is shortening the gap between the 
tapped turn and the two closest turns enough for the high voltage to
jump 
across.  Find a different tapping method so the gaps will stay large
enough 
to prevent this, or you COULD cover the primary turns(where the sparks
jump) 
with electrical tape to help stop this for the time being.
