Hello Brandon,
May I ask what the intended use is (I.e. the potential you're trying
to suppress and the size of the connections which you're trying to
cover)?
In my experience, corona suppression is as easy as:
- using too much solder and forming a 'blob' on the joint;
- using larger gauges of wire at connection points;
- after soldering, doing 'touch-up' work with sandpaper (various
gauges, possibly, and finishing with 400-grit);
- after smoothing out the free-air connection, insulating it with an
insulative varnish (perhaps even corona-dope).
If you wish to test these, I recommend you use a highly-susceptible
joint and then use the method described. The joint, of course, being
a test-piece, as opposed to the actual part of the structure.
Good luck!

Subject: [TCML] Corona Supression
Hi All,
There was a post I read a while back, don't remember what it was
about, but someone had mentioned that they would eventually end up
covering every little point that wasn't smooth with "corona
supressing
caps". Does anybody know exactly what these are and where I could get
them and/or make them?
Thanks,
Brandon
