The next level from paper dielectric was mylar. Mylars can be epoxy
dipped usually green dipped, polypropolene is widely used orange
dipped epoxy, and the asian rim caps are brown dipped epoxy. That's
one good way to tell by the color of the epoxy.

I was at a hamfest looking for some mylar caps for a circuit that called for

characteristics? How did we get by before mylar was used?

And dark red? Or is that the 'brown' you refer to? Some colour-blind
fellows confuse the two...
