I used such similar wire when I rewired the high voltage power supply in my
Collins 20V-3. Got it from a local who repairs neon signs.

If you want a sure fire solution to the high voltage problem use GTO-15
wire. It's used in neon signs among other things. I've used it many
times in 3000 to 5000 volt at 500 to 800 ma applications and never had a
problem. You can get it in a variety of colors and even super flexible.

Your error was using the foam coax. The foam is porous and has multiple
leakage paths for high voltage. Only use poly insulated coax.
