Why on earth do want to overvolt a cap
However they sound very funny when they are "popping" like firecrackers

Sorry couldn't help it

Normally you can overvolt with 10-20% for a very short periode, however there's a great chance for slowly destroying the cap each time this is done............

although it's not funny when the hot aluminum can of the electro flies into your toes and leaves burn marks. happened to me once.

Always use googles and other safety equipment, when playing with electrolytic caps
