I was thinking a smaller minor diameter to allow the outer surface of the
toroid to breakout easier, but maybe keep the same major diameter.  Also,
are the downward arcs originating from the toroid or the upper turns of the
secondary?  What is the height above the top turn of the secondary that the
bottom of the toroid is set at?  It could be, I suppose,  that you have too
much power for your 6x32 secondary.  I'm planning 4 15/30 NSTs using a 8x36
secondary and a 6x24 toroid, so I'm interested in your problem.
