I went to Home Depot today, to search for materials to make the Burt Pool 
type caps, and polyethylene sheets, as described, were not available.  
Where should I go for these 4x8x30mil sheets.  I am thinking of using 
30mil (if avail) three layers deep, for a total of 90mil.  My coil will 
be fed with 12-15kV from parallel'd neons or a pig.

Also unavailable was the thin non-sch40 PVC tubing 6" in dia.  I must 
keep looking for that.

Last item: Mineral oil.  I estimate needing about 5gal for all three 
caps.  I need a source for the pure stuff in the Boston area.  Any 
suggestions on what *type* of place I need to look? Is there a 
'materials' FAQ for this group? I just signed on, and did not receive any 
FAQs- its unusual for a listserv to not send one as the first message.

Thanks in advance,

Adam
