 All,
 	I`m about to build my first set of Polyethylene/Oil
 Capacitors. I've already downloaded the construction tips by
 Richard Quick and I've found them to be very complete. I've
 also purchased some 14"x50' aluminum flashing and 3-(6"x19") PVC
 pipe with caps for containers. The one question I have is,
 why should I special order some 30 mil polyethylene ( stacked
 3 sheets for 90 mil thickness)? When 15 sheets of 6 mil polyethylene
 will do just the same. And is readily available at a department 
 store. >>
Seems to me that 3 sheets would be a lot less grief before youre through than
15. Alignment,wrinkles hassle etc...Though multiple sheets are advantagous
for puncture resistance I think. You pays your money and you takes your
chances. Steve
