 An interesting bit of information is that I had wrapped the bottom 
 half of the secondary with about 24 layers of 10 mil sheet poly 
 before this run in order to stop pri-secondary arcing near the 
 secondary bottom to enable me to increase K to 0.22.  There were NO 
 strikes to the secondary under this poly.  This would indicate that a 
 good layer of poly over the ENTIRE secondary might well be of help 
 when one is trying to push the outside of the envelope as I was.

My entire 6.0" dia secondary is wrapped in about three rolls of Glad Wrap
(poly).  I ended up doing this when I was having problems with the secondary
breaking out when pushing power levels up to 7 kva.  It doesn't look nearly
as good as it used to, but is more functional.
