Matt,
Thank you for the suggestion. The sum of my gaps was probably not more than
1/2" but I didn't measure it exactly. I like the idea of going to even
smaller gaps and spacing them over even more surface area. I'm going to do
that.
Thanks

I was thinking the maximum gap spacing for a neon sign transformer
was in the neighborhood of .25" as opposed to .50". My gaps are set
at .030" each and I believe I use 5 or 6 gaps on my small coil using
a 15 kv 60 ma transformer.
