[NewCandle] foil roll experiments

[Nick Reiter]

Hi Keith, Horace, and all,

Thanks for the feedback and next-stage ideas.

I just got handed orders to go on the road for a week to the German facility for our company, so I'll hop back onto this project in a couple of weeks.  I don't like starting experiments that bubble and fizz in my basement whilst I am away for a time...

Will be back onto the topic then.
