[Amps] L4-B & Kapton Tape...

[Don Jones]

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.
