paralleling high voltage capacitors?
 
Yes, ive read that i can, but this is my first attempt.

So please, for a newbies sake. It IS allright to parallel say a 40-600 and a 100-600 to make a 140-600 right?

Im about to restuff my cans and just dont want to screw this up.

I've done it several times wiith lytics and had no problems, however you should be careful not to get any of the polarities wrong or else the caps may explode.

Parallel capacitors add the capacitance.
Series capacitors add the voltage.
