Thanks, Gary. There is nothing better than an actual test to make sure of the properties of a substance. Since it showed a short at 500 volts I don't think it would like the 2500 volts that will be applied to the capacitor. Maybe I better go with the silicon just to be safe.
73, Rick/K5IAR Well, I could not resist. I have a tube of JB Weld in the shop and for giggles put some on a piece of Nomex paper. I then dug out the hipot tester and started to apply a dc voltage to each side of the glob of JB Weld. At 300 volts it started to show a high resistance leakage and at 500 volts went to a solid short. I would not use it for the application intended on this thread.
