Yeah that’s true about getting it to stick now didn’t even think of that.... string sounds like the best bet just to close that wrap up and add the extra layer on the outside I plan on adding.

Seems it would prove somewhat problematic getting the tape’s adhesive to ‘stick’ to the oil-soaked guts of your transformer at this stage, though?

I opened the paper it was right next to the end and there is one tiny little dot on one wrap of wire. What I found out happened was when this transformer got its bushing hit by a fork lift it shifted the core and it was sitting on the tank and it burned a small dot through the paper and was grounding onto the can. A good couple of coats of electrical varnish should fix it right up... man I’m so happy good end to a Friday!
