A very nice way of saving lives from heavy burns and electrocution you folks 
have here at this "ring" . My hat is off to you people...For a long time now 
I have been reading many posts from the other experimenters trying to get the 
info I need so as to not waste time asking a question that was answered 
already. Well I have not seen
any other zany person making a poly cap out of old aircraft blue prints (made 
of some tuff type of plasic that they call "mylars") and use linseed oil as 
the air barrier that I could buy on sale  5gal for $30.00. . Now...the reason 
I ask is my life...I have found that linseed oil is a sure fire way to set 
your garage on fire if you leave it on a rag... in fact on T.V. they show a 
lady soak a rag in linseed oil, wrap it in a foil ball,
put it in a foam cooler and 12 minutes later the thing bursts into 
flame...spontaneous
combustion in a bad sort of way...Now at my work they use linseed oil to coat 
the inside of pipe type structures on aircraft of every kind so it won't 
corrode. My guess
is that if there is no porous matter to feed the oxygen to it your not going 
to flame-on. The oil container/cap is a home made fiberglass box with a 1/2 
inch glass plate for the bottom. So that is my question,  can I make a cap 
without making a cap/bomb ? I looked up linseed oil in the dielectric 
constant table and it says 3.2-3.5
Thanks for any help...
