Re: [TCML] Lacquer

["Bill Noble" <william_b_noble@xxxxxxx>]

the coating is more for beauty and protection than for insulation, at least 
historically that has been the case - I used a polyurethane spray - I 
believe others have used a wide range of substances - make sure that 
whatever you use doesn't dissolve the insulation on the wire - so I'd avoid 
lacquer and other coatings based on a strong solvent just to be safe.
