Hi Ruud,
              I think the recipe for a bullet-proof home-rolled cap is well 
established:

Use as many caps in series as it takes to get peak volts/cap down to 
several thousand, thoroughly impregnate them with oil and run them 
in oil etc. etc.  Applying silicon seems to me to just be extending the 
plastic a little further.
