no idea why it's like that

Good news is, the HV rect is OK!
bad news is, my patchwork did not hold.
the HV blasted through / around the heat shrink tubing and found a path to grd and arced again, I guess i should not have clipped it down

now time for more drastic measures.

huge piece of tubing filled with silicone
this will take many hours to cure
and If it's dry enough to put pack together late tonight, I will slop more on it.

hope to be ready to power it again mon night.
