I use ABS sheet stock or un-clad G-10 epoxy/fibreglas board for 
mounting electrolytics.   I mount them with a few dabs of silicone 
rubber adhesive sealant on the bottom and let it cure for 24-hrs.  I 
leave 2 to 3 mm between caps for air circulation  To remove caps that 
are mounted this way, cut the Si rubber with a fish fillet knife.
