Re: the back of secondary winding



Original poster: "Dr. Resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>



No --- put on two coats on a sanded tube allowing each coat to dry throughly prior to winding. A very light coat could be applied if you want the surface "tacky" prior to winding but this is usually not necessary. No reason at all to have the surface "dripping wet with varnish" just prior to winding.

If we were doing this for
insulation purposes I would like to put a layer of varnish on the
form mounted to the winding mechanism and while still wet wind the
wire. What's up here?

Russ,
Monitoring Lightning at the Cape

this is the way i do it.just like you said.wind it while adding varnish.
squuezes between turns.it just seems to work out very good and holds things together better.

i have been using helmans spar urethane lately and works good.
just let it cure outside in the sun/heat before firing it up..
p.s. use plently of ventillation the fumes are heavy and lay on the floor.
becareful of any sources of sparks or open flame.
