Jim,
I built a small (4.5" x 23") TC secondary using 22 ga stranded, PVC
insulated hookup wire. It went on at about 20 turns-per-inch. The
resulting coil worked great, albeit at a rather high frequency. Your
#24 Kapton wire should work just fine. If the low TPI count bothers
you, go to a larger diameter coil form to get the frequency down.
