David,

If you can wait till hamfest season, you can usually find lengths of old 
large size coax cable for next to nothing.  Slit the outer jacket with a 
utility knife blade in a wood block, shuck off the shield braid and use the 
inner insulator layer and conductor alone.  The solid polyethylene types of 
cable make excellent HV cable for a variety of projects, and I've come away 
from hamfests with 100' coils for $5.00, especially at the end of the day, 
when no one wants to drag the stuff back home.
