Received 0.0056uF caps to restuff 0.006uF Philco tubulars. These proved to be the most stubborn caps yet: I do not know what kind of compound this is they used for the plgs, but it doesn't melt. I broke the leads on one, and ended up crushing the p!ugs with a hammer, damaging one end so I had to trim the tube.
The second cap I approached differently: I held one lead in a vice and pulled the other lightly with pliers: after 5 minutes of heating the plug came out. The other end didn't fare as good: I ended up crushing this end too, though it worked better this time. Spent an hour for two caps, and I have another two of the same.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
