Heat strip magnet wire is not intended for winding transformers and motors
and should not be used for that purpose...Formvar insulated wire is what is
used for that.

I was speaking of transformers such as those used in RF circuits like the
Elecraft rigs, not power transformers; Any situation where two or more
windings occur on the same core. They are not subjected to the electrical or
thermal stresses of motors or power transformers, but good electrical
insulation between the windings is just as important as in any other type of
transformer.
