I would guess so. Reason being electrons tend to find the tiniest of
holes/weak spots. The hole with a nylon screw would be seen as a weak spot
at best by the HV and most likely go right around the screw and burn a hole
thru the threads if there a point of lower voltage or ground behind it.

Hi All,
I've read quite a bit about making secondaries. In just about all of the
instructions, it says NOT to drill holes in the secondary coil form. I
understand that holes would give a place to arc into (or out of). BUT - if
the hole were tapped and a nylon screw were put there, would the hole
still be a problem (since there wouldn't be a hole any more)??
TIA,
Tim
