Speaking of the mica pieces used in trimmer condensers, you are right, it is best to remove them before getting the thing wet. I remember a trick our fearless leader Ron mentioned a few years ago, and which I have used successfully. Save the thick, clear plastic used to package some thing like baked goods, or anything, the kind that is heat shrunk on a mold to the desired shape. Cut out the flat parts, and fashion replacement insulators for the trimmer from that. It works a treat.
