Edgewound primary

Hi list,

I have about 150 feet of .021" thick (16 oz) x 3" copper strip. I also have 
several hundred feet of 1/4" x 1-1/2" HDPE, one continuous piece, that I 
plan to use to separate the coils.
As far as I understand the disadvantage of this is corona loss along the 
sharp edge. If I were to solder #10 bare wire or #8 grounding wire to both 
edges would this be a viable solution? And yes, I believe I can accomplish 
this, won't be easy but I believe I can do it.
I have also read that the advantage of a strip primary is the increased 
surface area of the conductor.
Also if needs be I'm also prepared  to fold the strip lengthwise. This too 
i believe I can do.
So what would be the "hot" setup with the materials I have?
