I have had a transformer soaking in gas for awhile, I just took it
out and cleaned it up with lacquer thinner. What a mess! Now to my
question, the secondarys are a mess and nicked on the outer
windings. , I goofed and was too rough a while back trying to remove the tar.
The transformer is a Jefferson 15Kv 60ma. The secondarys are about
36ga wire and I don't have any butt splices that size but I do have
some .004 copper sheet from a transformer winding. My question is
would it work to lightly sand the outer windings and solder a strip
of the .004 copper to it for a lead point? I do not feel safe trying
to solder to the end of the 36ga.
If it works I plan on making a Lexan box for it.
