Hi GSlayerBrian,
I'm glad to hear (read) from you again. According to your update I think you did successfully the relay's connection. From my perspective, now you have two options: try to find some capacitor for the relay method or try with one of the suggestions given before by flummer. My recommendation is to try with both options and evaluate which one is better and which one have better results.
If you have more questions keep asking. Have a nice day!
Regards,
Diego.
