 Did you seal your salt water caps with an barrier oil before you had 
 this corona discharge? I have not witnessed this in my caps. If you 
 haven't used the oil then try that and see if it stops.

Didnt use oil, It wasnt exactly a definite arc, just a density of corona and
a loud WHAP-buzz WHAP. It did this after a short run time and the salt was
beginning to crystalize a little. Salt water caps are a good demo of raw
power, I dont like to even get near them when the power is on, very
impressive to be crude devices.  Steve
