Hi Mike:

Your supports will make for a very neat looking primary assembly, but
with a 2-layer primary, an unbroken plastic insulating layer between the
coils is mandatory.  If you join the inner turns, you will get surface
tracking along your supports at the outer turns.  I can't think of any
practical way to insulate two conical coils.  Why can't you use flat
coils?
