Some good heavy fish paper will do it too, say about 30 to 40 mil thick. The
blue-gray stuff is what to look for in the paper. Has a high temp rating to it
and absolutely non-conductive. This is used in seperator layers, and bobbins
for HV plate transformers. One plus is it's easy to glue/fasten and really easy
to work. If you can find some electrical paper tubing with the right I.D., it's
the berries.
Best,
Will
