Mike I'm sure it'll work great. I personally use "thread sealer" tape which is used to seal plumbing threads. It's also very very thin, so it takes up no coil space. Wolfe |

Well all sounds good but maybe slightly overkill, I just use a good quality cellulose tape, like old style cellotape. The stuff I get is stable up to 170 degrees so I'm still able to pot safely. Andy |

I think I'm too green to answer, but I'll try anyway. I think you want to do the "potting" procedure after the winding is done because the basic way to know if all the gaps are filled is to have the pickup soaking and doing that until there are no more bubbles. I think it is SK who uses sanding sealer and I like that idea better than wax. I've done the wax thing, with fine results, but all that boiling water and chance of melting stuff is a pain in the ass if sanding sealer is going to work just as well. Ok, now the 'big guns' can correct me if I'm wrong. |
