I mentioned in an earlier thread that the toroid can theoretically be wound without the wire physically touching another winding at any stage of the assembly ... which may sound like a pretty bold statement.
And while mine has turned out pretty neat, it would have a few adjacent wires in the centre of the hole that do touch ... though if I was super concerned I could spend a bit more time to space them more carefully so they do not touch.
Maybe I could wind a thick piece of fishing line between the wires to fill the gap and keep them apart.
This picture shows the spacing of the wires through the centre.
I also mentioned earlier about the mylar taking up a lot of volume, particularly inside the hole.
Just to get a half overlap around the outside, actually creates four layers around the inside ... see pix
