Geoff the mentioned dielectric is very good but one of the more (If not the most) expensive choice. Here you can buy it in 1gallon 5 gallon and 55gallon lots....

Hi Ben, Should work fine as it is in the ninth picture in my "Jim's EDM" pictures folder? Or fine as I should add a "T" bypass to the right side loc-line? I...
