Re: Tieing down caps

Over in the Cables Asylum, cotton is constantly touted as having the best dielectric properties next to air. If it's at all practical, try wrapping the caps with some cotton fabric, then tie them down loosely with some cotton twine or thread. Don't get it too tight as you don't want to compress the cap's casing - that'll screw it up more than what you wrap them in.

Also, be aware that if the caps you plan on tying get warm while in use, the cotton will trap some of that heat - a caveat.
