The ferrite binocular cores are conductive and can have sharp edges as I 
learned the hard way. It is easy to scratch the enamel off wire and cause a 
short. What I do instead of using tubing is I coat the inside of the core with 
a thin layer of clear finger nail polish called "Hard as Nails" and let it dry 
before I put the windings in.  Glyptal varnish might work too but it is a bit 
thicker.
