disaster (i think)?

["Metlicka Marc" <mystuffs-at-orwell-dot-net> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

all,
today i put a coat of insulating varnish on the 3000 turn coil, what i
saw sickened me. i thought i was so careful to get the wire tight
together but after the varnish at least a hundred? gaps showed up in the
windings. not really the width of a wire but there there.
there is no crossed wires but i'm not sure if the gaps will kill it or
not? it goes about two inches real tight and then a gap, then maybe a
half inch, another gap and so on.
will covering it in urethane help, or can i expect it to burn?
any help will be grateful,  sad marc.
