You mentioned changing the secondary with 10-gauge wire - I'm guessing that you have some understanding of the thicker wire's higher present-carrying capability, which you would wish for an arc welder. The problem here is that the magnetic core - the steel laminations - also have a maximum magnetic flux carrying capacity, just like the wire has a maximum current-carrying capacity. The Zappify Bug Zapper shop-zapper manufacturer would have used the bottom-price (smallest) laminated core that met the power needs of the zapper - that are Much lower than what you'll want for an arc welder. You would find that the secondary present would max out at a too-low value. One warning - in the event you do get hold of a microwave transformer, Do not energy it up on the bench high. Microwave transformers are one of many few units that provide each high voltage and relatively excessive current - and are pretty much assured to kill you if you get across the HV side. Undecided about bug zappers, however I'd be very cautious with that as effectively.
