Re: [TCML] Secondary Repair Question

I've successfully repaired mine by cleaning it with a Scotchbrite pad and 
alcohol, then recoating. Yours looks worse than mine did, but you still may get 
away with it. If you choose to sand, I'd be very careful to clean all of the 
sanding grit, as I've heard some fine sandpapers use a conductive grit. It can't 
hurt to try.

Subject: [TCML] Secondary Repair Question

Hi All,

The last time I ran my coil a bunch of racing sparks caused some substantial
damage to my secondary. I want to try and fix it before I go and rebuild it
or just make another. Could I just patch it up with some Dolph's AC-43? Or
do I NEED (note the emphasis on need) to sand it all off, do something about
the carbon/char, and then re-coat?

Thanks everyone!

P.S. I posted some pictures of the damage on my TC blog. The link's in my
signature.
