 There seems to be a lot of questions relating to capacitor construction
 lately.  So here's another one!
 
 Does anyone know whether Glad Wrap(tm), the plastic cling wrap for food
 that you wrap your sandwiches in, is polyethylene?  If it is, does
 anyone know what thickness it is?  It is bloody thin!
 
 Also, would normal kitchen aluminum foil work as plate material?
 
 TIA

Andrew,

Some of the plastic food wraps are polyethylene.  I believe Glad wrap is, and
it says so right on the box.  Regular aluminum foil will work if you are using
extended foil construction.
