     Construction is continuing on the four cell polystyrene stack cap.  I 
     built an enclosure of 3/4" MDF (medium density fiberboard).  The 
     interior is coated with epoxy, and the interior and exterior seams are 
     coated with resin potted fiberglass.  The terminals are 1/2" 
     copper-plated steel bolts driven directly through the MDF lid...which 
     leads to my question...
     
     Is it acceptable that the terminal bolts make contact with the MDF, or 
     will there be sufficient conductance through the MDF to present a 
     problem?
     
     I have a JPEG of the box, if anyone wants to see it before rendering 
     an opinion.  I haven't posted it here since I don't know what list 
     policy is on image attachments.

     P.S.  Does anyone know if cured polyurethane foam is soluble in mineral 
     oil?
