Cute, Is there no risk from X or Y type ac caps catching fire? Looks like the answer is no. When was the last time anyone had a cap flame up when used as intended. I'm not exactly recommending putting gasoline soaked paper near caps with a near zero chance of flaming up. They can be placed in a metal box from a electrical supply house. Little air, designed not to burn. I now see an X type AC safety capacitor of a 10uf value from Vishay.
