Hello,

First, I would like to thank everyone for the advice.  I ended up making
a rolled allum/poly cap instead of salt water.  Now that I have it
rolled and packaged in the PVC (what a pain!) I need to vacuum it out.
I was wondering if a vacuum pump intended for auto repair would work for
this purpose.

I was also wondering how big I should make my safety gap.  I am running
a 12kv 30ma nst with a 4 in secondary, a 15 turn 3/8 in copper tube
primary, and a 8 electrode static gap (.225in).

Thanks,

Mike
