Silvio,
I use a paper laminated phenolic, due to it's superior surface tracking properties. G10 or FR4 would do fine too, I'm sure. Cotton laminated phenolic is the worst in this respect, so avoid it like the plague.
Nice work, and great overkill with that transformer.
Cheers, Finn Hammer

Re: Criticize my HV supply design
Thanks; I actually ordered some G10 sheet because it's basically good old bakelite laced with fiberglass. It's 2mm thick, I hope that it's stiff enough to support the resistors.
(edit) To be honest I was dreading making that coil, and put it off for some time. In the end though it wasn't so bad since I prepared everything carefully. I'm already thinking of the next one.

There _is_ madness to my method.
