As Peter Locke says the varnish doesn't have to be red. You could get some varnish from a motor rewinding shop if there is one near.
I just use normal polyester varnish ( stuff for wood) on my transformers. I dip them in a tub when I have finished winding them and leave them for a day or so then let them air dry.
As for mylar tape, I have used Terylene tape on my transformers, I bought some online and it is easy to work with. I would have used fibreglass tape but I hate the stuff it makes me itch too much so I went for the next temperature grade down.
