capacitor safety gaps



I have just finished building my largest (and most expensive)
capacitor yet and I don't want to punch a hole through the dielectric.
The capacitor is 55nf using 60mil poly between the plates. How wide
should I set a safety gap across the cap to prevent overvoltage? 
  Talk about big and heavy it must weigh 50lbs!
