[Boatanchors] Micamold Recovery

[Jim Wilhite]

Dave the connections inside are a question to me.  If they had moisture in 
them then the silver pad where the wire connects may have started migration 
away from the connection.  I would be suspect that in a few years I would be 
replacing them if that connection opens.  You may be able to avoid that but 
I would think that would depend on how good that connection inside the cap 
is.

I placed the remaining 21 "leaky" caps in a disposable
pie pan and put them in a 300-degree electric oven
for 1.5 hours, then turned the oven off and let them
cool undisturbed for two hours.

for 12 hours to see if they start leaking again.

If they hold-up, I'd like to coat them with something
to keep the water out for another 70 years.
A friend suggested boiling them in clean beeswax,
which sounds messy, LOL.

Thoughts?
