Hello Stephen,

I've successfully used West System 105 epoxy and 206 hardener on three
of my secondaries.  Very rugged, hardens to a nice shine, and it has a
very good insulating property.  Curing time varies with temperature,
humidity, and thickness of application, but generally it takes less
than an hour to become run proof.  I leave the form and coil in my
winder and let it spin until the coating has set up.
