John..
My wire table indicates .08mm wire to be equivalent to #40 A.W.G which
is a little small for secondary coils,but would probably work OK on a
small coil ( wind carefully as that small of wire is easy to overlap).
#30 to #26 works well (small coil systems) but if all you have is #40
why not give it a try?
Half the fun of coiling is experimentation and using what you have on
hand.
