Subject: More newbie questions 

What is a good source for thick polyethylene sheet for caps?  The thickest
stuff I can find at the hardware store is 6 mil, and with a 30,000V cap
calling for around 75-90 mil of dielectric, that is a lot of layers!  The
stuff I've found is intended for sealing windows during cold weather and
as a light-duty tarp.  Is there a common application for stuff in the
20-40 mil range?  A local plastic supplier wants to charge $0.25/sq. foot
for 15 mil PE.  This strikes me as being way to pricey.

Thanks for all the advice so far,
Aric
