secondary, ensuring each winding is neat and tightly together with adjacent
windings, for the entire length as indicated in the figure below. Adding masking
tape every inch or so will ensure the windings don’t unwind and also allows you
to take rests if needed. Once you are completed, tape off the end of the winding,
and finally add a few extra turns. For finishing the coil, you have the option of
leaving it as is, wrapping it with masking or electrical tape, or for a more
professional look, simply coating it with polyurethane furniture finish which can
be purchased at any hardware or home improvement store. However, we strongly
recommend that you do coat your secondary in order to protect the windings from
mechanical damage as well as unravelling.
