John..

  My wire table indicates .08mm wire to be equivalent to #40 A.W.G which
is a little small for secondary coils,but would probably work OK on a
small coil ( wind carefully as that small of wire is easy to overlap). 
#30 to #26  works well (small coil systems)  but  if all you have is #40
why not give it a try?
 Half the fun of coiling is experimentation and using what you have on
hand.
