Hi,


	Im fairly new on building Tesla Coils, i recently built a small 
	one, it uses a 9000, 30ma neon sign transformer. My problem is 
	with the cap, i live in a small town and theres no where i can 
	get the poly to build the caps, so instead i used 1/8" window 
	glass, i sumerged the cap in oil and i also spreaded some in 
	between the plates, my question is ? Can the cap hold and for 
	how long ¿.
	
	Could some one please answer, i know this must be an easy 
	question for some of you, but im new at this some and im a 
	little nervous turning on the coil and have the cap blow up. 


	Thanks

	Jorge Fuentes
