Amen, it is a superb dielectric due to it's extreme stability.

To preclude pcb leaks, clean off the areas around the neoprene insulator
gaskets with acetone. When dry, force GE silicone rubber sealant into
and around each neoprene seal to form a backup seal. Also, mounting
brackets tend to place stress on the case seams. This problem can be
avoided by using silicone rubber sealant to mount the capacitors.

PCB is found in penguins in Antartica.

Not the prob. Poly Chlorinated Biphenals interfere with normal
biological processes because they are so stable.

The harmful effect is mostly to the developing brains of children.

Listen to Channel 6 for a few minutes.

Rosin flux fumes do not affect brain function, do not affect brain

Silver in the room undoubtedly helps, Carl, however, lighting two or more
Queen of the Universe candles _and_ keeping them in plain sight
reportedly helps boost the power of silver. .
