OK. I have finished the former. I just curious what kind of store did you guys get the Al tape. I can only found Cu tape in local component store. I did found some Al tapes for decoration, but they are only single layer conductive.

Center is Acrylics covered by Al foil.

Wow, cool looking toroid.

Not sure about Taiwan, but here in the US, aluminum tape is found in most home improvement stores or hardware stores. It should be in the heating section. If you can't find it there, check your local heating supplier.

Opposite, copper tape just doesn't exist here, and I needed it so many times, and have Al tape all around (although even it isn't to easy to find here)

What do you mean by ''single layer conductive''? Adhesive is poor conductor and will provoke arcing if firm electrical connection isn't good, but it should not be a too big problem for a toroid.

Or you have that paper-sided Al foil tape, or something similar?

@EastVoltResearch
Thanks, I will check it out in the next few days.

@Marko
I mean one layer of it is double sided adhesive tape, I guess that's what you mention(paper-sided Al foil tape).
