Ed reminded me I need to finish writing this up.

As you may remember, after many other tests
I left the caps connected across 180 VAC P-T-P for 
several days.  I had to do this over because my first 
set-up wasn't sturdy enough.
After six days, none of the caps had failed.

Now I'm letting them "age" for a month- until
the end of August.  I will then retest them for 
value and leakage current.

If they pass that test, I will mark them with a small
dab of nail polish and put them in my inventory
for use in future projects.

I'll hi-temp bake all the remaining Micamolds,
double-dip them in *agitated* hot wax and 
test them.  If they pass, they go in my inventory.
