Dielectric absorption was demonstrated dramatically when I unrolled a defibrillation capacitor (36uF 5kV) and sparks were developing giving me little shocks. Tearing the dielectric and film/foil gave rows of tiny sparks captured with my digital SLR camera. http://tesladownunder.com/misc1.htm#Can%20crusher%203

.....Note that many caps, like Peter's, will recharge if left open after being charge for a long time... http://www.wima.com/absorption.htm Terry
