Don't do it! At least until you are sure you have to. I have depotted a lot
of neons and have never found one that needed to be rewound. They go out
because the high voltage arcs through the tar and carbonizes a trail,
shorting the trans. If you remove the tar and reinsulate the secondaries
with corona dope and mica plates, you will have a perfectly good trans that
will pull a lot more current and give you some wonderful sparks.
