Wow you're way more qualified than I am!
Just use the silver duct tape, the adhesive portion doesn't conduct but it
doesn't matter at this high a voltage ( several members will probably
disagree)
Good Luck,

Hi Folks:

I appreciate your concern about my qualifications to build a tesla coil.
I feel 50% qualified and with your help I might be 100% qualified.
I am a licensed electrical contractor 17.5 years now. I do
industrial, commercial & residential electrical construction &
service work. My Dad worked for IBM for 33 years and had me tinkering
with electronics as a child.

Can someone /recommend/ a good conductive tape for my toroid. (I have
hvac silver duct tape) and I've gone to Lowes' plumbing department
for conductive tape but to no avail. My question also is, does the
adhesive portion of the tape have conductive properties?

Thank you for your assistance and concern!
Jim
