I have been recently preparing to build a rolled poly capacitor and
searching for a reasonable supplier of the poly sheeting.  Browsing
through
a plastics catalog, I noticed they had stretch film at a real cheap
price.
This is the stuff warehouses use to wrap up pallets of boxes with.  It
comes
in a variety of sizes (60, 70, 80, and 90 mil) and lengths.

Would this material be a suitable replacement for poly?  If so, how
could I
find out the dielectric constant and breakdown voltage?  If not, does
anybody have a good source for poly sheeting?
