You might consider either 24 or 26 AWG for this size coil. Best to use
polythermalizae (200 degree cent.) wire as this has a superior insulation
thickness and offers better protection from breakdown in any system in
which the spark length will nearly or exceed the coil length. Also in such
systems it is a good idea to silicon in a 1/4 inch thick acrylic or
phenolic disk approx. 3-5 inches down from the top end of the sec coil.
