Now that I finished my HCCT, I think I'll try to rebuild a mag coil ring. What insulating tapes are they using, and where do you get them? I know they have to be oil & heat resistant. Also how long are the copper strips?

I believe that most folks who redo their coil rings clean up and re-use the original copper strips.

Here's an earlier thread showing a member from Belgium rewinding his coils:

The MTFCA electrical book also has a section on rewinding the coil ring.

I planned on reusing the copper strips. I was just wondering how long they were to order enough material to do the job. Also what to use for the mag terminal because the insulator for it is cracked.
