In reply to your side note: I've used foil as plate material for a
rolled cap, and will keep on doing so since it workes great. I use
50mm pvc pipe as a roll form and 110mm pipe for the container. I
recently finished a 0,02+ uF cap that when rolled up moderately tight
fit perfectly (0,5cm clearance roll-container on both sides) in the
above mentioned container.
