I have been taking apart small Capatictors just to get an idea of how
they are arranged, I was amazed to open some of the rolled ones, they
are awsome! After realizing it, all my caps I have ever used were rolled
(About a year ago, I opened one for the first time to discover metal
plates and tons of oil, now I can't find that one again!). I think
rolled caps would be better for me. Let me ask you though, some small
ones I opened (200V@220uf) had a sort of paper and metal materials
soaked in oil, was this 'paper' like material a plastic? It was so
soaked, I can't tell what it was, and how come to two windings of metal
are different materials, one is shinnier than another.
And did you use an oil?

Roofing Flashing? Wasn't that material thick? What is wrong with using a
whole roll of Aluminum Foil?
