Chris:  The major differance is you are using a capacitor in a DC pulse
application and do not encounter the problems of a AC circuit. Good CLEAN
glass plates work well and do not move once put in place. Old small window
glass plates can often be salvaged from window instalation shops for there
salvage weight value. They are very heavy and you will not move them once
instaled. Your base mount insulators should be high enough to clean under
them. Heavy wine bottels or pop bottels work as insulators if mounted solid.
silicon RTV or  portland cement  can be used to mount them solid.
