Hi, Ward- The toroidal cores are non-conductive, so it is okay if a tinned or bare portion of the lead touches the core. With the toroids that I wind, I purposefully make an effort to tin up to or onto the core in order to eliminate the possibility of a builder pulling enamel into the hole in the PCB during installation. For HF applications, this will not create a problem.
You do not, of course, want to create shorts between adjacent or any secondary windings.
