I have used standard 1.5mm d/sided fibreglass pcb for hv caps for tesla use,
although only for mini coils, they work well, but are probably a bit of a

sorry about the long promised updates on my site, but I've been rather busy
with a new job, another largish website for another interest and a logn

of the UK for about 6 weeks shortly.
