[TCML] Voltage rating of two pack clear automotive paint

[David Petzer <davepetzer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have recently wound a few small resonators, to make a few SSTC's. They are wound on normal PVC and also on glass.


I am contemplating spraying them with Two Pack Clear the type you would use on a car or truck as a final coat. My motivation is really cost, accessibility and strength of the paint.


Does anyone know if the thinners present in the paint will dissolve or degrade the insulating coating on the copper wire?

Does anyone know if the two pack paint it's self is a poor high voltage insulator?

Any ideas on how to test it?


So far I have used an old 1000V mega tester in a pot of the liquid to measure the resistance between a couple of electrodes. It always reads above 200Mohm regardless of the distance between the electrodes.


Thanks for any help.

David
