All,
Several of you have responded to Steven's question but no one has answered 
it. He asked if spray enamel is suitable for covering a coil. The answers 
you gave only addressed his mention of shellac and the superiority of 
polyurethane over shellac.

I have the same question as Steven. Is enamel paint suitable for covering 
the wiring of a secondary coil?? Enamel cost less than 1/2 that of 
polyurethane. I know it isn't much but when you are on an extremely tight 
budget, as many of us are, every penny counts and if you are like me, you 
want to expend what funds you have in the most economical way. This way, we 
can concentrate spending on what counts the most. Thanks.
Paul
