I'm about to start building some rolled poly caps, and have a question
about sourcing materials.  .09" thick polyethelene is not commonly
available, but .006" thick is.  Is it reasonable to use 16 layers of
this
thin stuff, or would this many layers be totally unwieldy?  

I don't have access to a vacuum pump to pump the cap down to remove air 
bubbles.  Would the multi thin layers pose a greater problem in
harboring
air bubbles?

Also, for the mineral oil, what kind of place does one go to for this?
Auto supply store?
