I have to agree with Brian regarding Kapton tape, I too have used it for many years. My rule of thumb is that is good for about 1kV per layer. While it may not be good for the rigors (abuse) of Mil-810 grade service on military aircraft. It is plenty good for ham radio service below 125 deg C.
Just my two bits.

Yes, really.

We used it for decades, in both tape form and Kapton-insulated
wire form, in critical applications at the world's largest OEM
of RF-driven sealed CO2 Lasers.

The stuff is VERY tough.  The only way we found to remove
the insulation from wire ends was by blasting it with one of our
more powerful (> 100W) Lasers or, by mechanically scraping it off.
