Hi Rich,

I'm not sure what your objective is, but if repairing the dinged insulation is what you want, then recoat with polyurathane.

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.
