Won’t the epoxy ooze through the coil and coat the inside in some areas reducing the contact area? With it being silver and open to the air it will most likely oxidise quite quickly I would have thought.
The epoxy hasn't bled through the coil, as the coil is tightly wound, & you can coat the inner part of the coil with deoxit gold to stop deterioration of the silver, alternatively, you can buy gold-plated silver wire & use that instead 👍
