The residue that is left is glierol or glyserin (spelling?)  its used as a
laxative and was talked about on the list as a possible dielectric but scince
its organic has a very low dielectric strenght the "Fog juice" used in fog
machines is part water and part glyserin the heated fog is then passed threw a
cooler which causes it to fall to the ground.  So i can see how it casuied your
coil to short.  Just my 2 cents
