    the green is no big issue  just  cover the stratch with   some latex glue or liquid tape

    carefull with black goo  of any type as some  products carry lots of carbon (to color it black)          carbon can short  HV voltages to ground

    they make special  corona (High voltage)  proof silicones to  prevent arcing  …..like they used  on old flyback transformers in tube TV’s  to keep them  from  arcing and  oscillating with a high pitch tone.

    btw I have a nagging doubt about these coils with 8Koms  secondaries …….don’t know why ???

    I think OEM stuff  is more in the 4-6 Kohms ….. is itdue to  bigger  wire gauge  or  fewer feet … I do not know
