Hi Paul,

Ah, it takes me back to the days of winding the secondary for my big Tesla coil 
and I know how it feels!
You've done a great job on it.  I've used both marine epoxy (West System) and 
shellac to secure all the
windings and make it waterproof.  I used plastic for my form, but as others 
have mentioned, if you do a
good job of sealing the form and windings you'll be fine...I was going for 
sparks...you won't be!!
