Putting the Mylar inside seems a good idea. Instead of glue, one could use a rubber gasket between the mylar and the inside of the wall, so there would be no risk of ripping the mylar. The cathode wire support could be U shaped so that it presses the mylar+gasket against the wall for watertightness. Or the anode wire support could be U shaped so that it pushes the cathode support +Mylar+gasket against the wall. Michel
