iv found a great way to make cheap caps
take pop bottles, cut the plastic out of the middle. use that :)
put a few in series and you don't even need oil that much.
usally you can get 2nf~4nf depending on how well you roll the tinfoil into 
a 1inch round by 5" long cylinder, iv only tryed this with a very small tc, 
so oil might be better for large ones unless you have alot in series. but 
still, you could stick 10 of these suckers into the size a normal 2liter 
bottle takes up
