OR two capacitors in parallel. The support cap has a nominal value of 1/100
of the bigger cap. So you can tune the bigger.

I can buy resistors and capacitors with 5%, sometimes with 1%. If you
build a RC oscillator with 1% component values, you get an error

1,5%.

I have a nice line of 2% caps in stock, but where do you get the
elusive
(affordable) 1% capacitors?

You have undergrads select them. :-)
