Hoping someone can answer this. I'm in process of building a spot welder like this fellow did:

I discharged the caps, got everything removed now and am tearing down the transformer to rewrap it.
I'm going to reuse the primary winding, along with a length of 2ga I purchased (discarding the secondary that was in the transformer)
In the process of removing the primary (to get to the secondary to remove that), I very slightly nicked some of the primary copper wires that were exposed. The nicks are superficial and everything is intact.
So the question is, is the primary still useable?
Thanks
