[AMRadio] Oil filled capacitors

[Gary]

Well, I could not resist. I have a tube of JB Weld in the shop and for 
giggles put some on a piece of Nomex paper. I then dug out the hipot tester 
and started to apply a dc voltage to each side of the glob of JB Weld. At 
300 volts it started to show a high resistance leakage and at 500 volts went 
to a solid short. I would not use it for the application intended on this 
thread.

Cool.  I have a couple of choices then.  I think I have a tube of JB Weld,
so it will likely get the call.  Thanks, Jim.

JB Weld does not contain any form of metal.  It works well as an
adhesive.
