Stopping Arcs



Original poster: "Simon Yorkston by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>" <quantumx-at-ozemail-dot-com.au>


Hi all.
Well, my coil is very near completion- the only thing I am waiting on is
Caps, and they are on backorder. Anyway, I made a NST protection unit for
my coil. Due to the limiting size of perfboard that I could get,
[~12cmx12cm] it has taken me a while to stop arcing across the connections.
Now, it only arcs across one connection. Is there anything I can put on
there to stop it arcing? I was thinking silicon - would this work?

the gap that it is firing across is about 1 to 2 cm. 

Thanks again,
Simon
