Actually I got that idea from seeing a photo of one of Calvin's panels; wherein, it looked like he trimmed the diaphragm an 8th inch or beyond the stator edge and then wrapped it over and secured it on the opposite side with tape. So, we can say that I got the idea for my edge-wrap arrangement from Calvin.
BTW, I pronounce it "stAAAtor"
One Note,I always do any tensioning before I apply the coating.
But you shouldn't have any issues as long as you don't have to do any major retensioning.
I haven't had any problems using the Licron Crystal formula with this.
I did have a few cracking instances with the original formula Licron mainly around the edges where the flex point is ,so I just merely recoated the the edges a little more.

Hello CharlieM,
Wrapping the edges with kapton tape for insulating the stators from each other is a good idea.
But, your technique of sanding down all the sharp edges on the stators is an even better idea.
Attached is a pic from an early Sander's Eros panel showing what happens when sharp edges aren't properly removed. Two layers of 5mil kapton tape didn't help.

That's a good question.
I'm not sure what step-up ratio the Eros had, but we could guess it was in the 60:1 to 75:1 range.
Based on the owner using 250W amp, I would estimate the peak voltage between stators to have been somewhere in the 3kVrms - 4kVrms range.
