I do have some heavyduty insulation that came from stripped transformers so that will be used to wrap around the former. The idea is snug to loose fit in the E-core so once that heavy insulation is wrapped with my yellow tape I can do a trial fit in the E-core to make sure of the fit. Now as this will only be doing 2-3Kw do you think going 2 inhand 1.6mm wire is overkill and a single wire is enough as this will drop the thickness by a 1/2 which would allow me to use a heavier gauge wire for the primary.
