What I do now with my MMCs is to build them and put them inside a piece
of PVC pipe.  I attach screw terminals
to end caps on each end of the small PVC pipe and have a nice capacitor
which is insulated from the ground its
laying on.  Also, since the internal portion of the capacitor isn't
really accessible (unless you took it apart),
risk from shock from internally charge capacitors is minimum.
