Re: Robustness of the kit
I probably won't make it until my secondary caps break off though..

Re: Robustness of the kit
I'll get my second secondary coil tomorrow. Another try... Will it have a better chance with super glue?

Re: Robustness of the kit
I tried it on my current secondary. The bottom cap broke of while the top one sticks tight as hell! I even tried to rip it off without any success. I would have damaged the toroid by the time I broke the top cap off. Looking forward for a robust construction.

Re: Robustness of the kit
hm
how about cutting a few notches in the PVC so that the glue has more to hold on to?
what's different about the two ends? was one sanded more?

Re: Robustness of the kit
Maybe I didn't let the super glue dry long enough. I will let it dry for an hour or two and then see if it's stable enough. I also covered the secondary coil in varnish, as suggested by other users to prevent flashovers.

Re: Robustness of the kit
did you coat just the wire or the entire secondary??
and what varnish are you using?

Re: Robustness of the kit
The secondary is 99% out of wire, I coated the windings of it.
I'm using clear varnish out of a spray can.
And the super glue is rock solid! Love it
