[ARC5] Cleaning Capacitor Oil Leakage

[Peter Gottlieb]

My Nomex comes from the aviation side.  There's the required flight suit 
(coveralls) and I have the long underwear, which is amazingly comfortable.  The 
jacket goes over that, and of course there are gloves, single layer for summer 
and multilayer for winter.  Luckily, all this is available surplus for 
astonishingly low cost, even for items which are brand new.  I only buy new as I 
was taught that eventually after a lot of wear and washings Nomex gets lots of 
fibers raised on its surface which reduces its fire resistance.

Glad that your attention to detail on proper protective clothing worked out.

Peter
