    To find the poly, just go buy the pond stuff and then layer it. I 
orginally was going to use 10 sheets of 6 mil to make 60 mil sheets. And if u 
have leftover, it's great for lining the ground wen you are painting.

 Is there a general formula or something to determine the optimal height of
 an Tesla Coil for its transformer.  I know that it is a good idea to keep a
 1 to 5 high to diameter. What is the ideal wire gauge. My power supply will
 by a 15kv 60 ma. I am thinking about a 4.5 x 22 or a 6 x 30. Secondary.
 
 Where can i get 30 mil poly for caps. The only place i found sold it for
 pond lining but it was to big (50 by 5) >>
