Hi Trent,

Hey, just wanted to say this is pure genius. Way to go! I never thought of
that.
I think any of us who have done the paint brush method now have a new
method for
coating our secondary's. I wonder if Resonance Research and other professional
coil builders are doing this. If not, they should take note. Fantastic method.
Thanks for sharing.

Bart
