     Folks,
     
     I've been wondering about shielding the UV output of my sparkgap.  I'd 
     like to be able to see the light of the gap, but not worry about the 
     UV.  
     
     I asked at TAP Plastics, and they said they had clear, UV coated 
     acrylic for $6/ft.  Has anyone tried using this sort of thing on a 
     sparkgap?  It's probably intended for the sun's rays, do you think it 
     would protect from the sort of UV power a sparkgap puts out?
     
     thanks,
     
     paul
