Since internal secondary breakdown can normally be avoided simply by
keeping the windings on the exterior of the form, I would ask - What is
unique to your situation that warrants such extreme measures?  It's
simply not normally a problem.  Have you actually experienced internal
arcing, or are you just trying to make a bullet-proof coil?
