/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Trying to find a neon light transformer i can use to do wood burning patter in wood. Seems like most nowadays have gfci and possibly other protections that would disrupt the device from working. How hard would it be to bypass the circuit protection in a simple 12kv neon sign transformer? Or Is there a specialized device I can buy where I won't have to worry about circuit protections. Inb4 microwave transformer, the voltage is too low and won't give me the patterns I want
