	If it's important for TC's, why isn't it important for VDG's, which
require a much higher level of insulation (lower leakage resistance)? 
I've built several columns from plain old PVC pipe, and never had any
problems with leakage.  In fact, I commonly wash them with soap and
water to get rid of the accumulation of dust, and they seem to work fine
after drying.
