Re: PTFE tape for transformer insulation
A former colleague of mine said he heard of a case where an engineer used to smoke his pipe in the workplace and annoy his co-workers. They thought they'd play a trick on him, and bury some bits of PTFE insulation in the tobacco in his pipe when he wasn't looking.
He died.
It's great stuff, it has made the world a better place, I love it, and continue to use PTFE-insulated wire; PTFE-bushed stand-off solder terminals; PTFE coil formers; but just beware of its limitations and drawbacks.
