RE: Aluminum tape on toroids? What about the sticky side being nonconducting? Not a problem!

Al Ducting tape works just fine. Why not just try it? I have used it
from 12" sparks to 4+ feet with no issues. The resistance of said glue
is negligible (non-existent!) at TC Frequency's and voltages.

1) corona at the edges will become conducting, as voltages go up.
     Can't speak tot he losses inherent in this mode...)

2) _conductive_ adhesive metallic tapes are available, tho
not widely, and, i suspect, not cheaply.  (and i don't know exactly HOW
conductive the adhesives used are...).  Such tape is used
in emi/rfi test etc...
