[Elecraft] New K2 build.

I'm assuming you mean the epoxy that the cap is dipped in.
I've never removed it; I'm not sure but I think doing so may damage the sealing quality of the epoxy.

As I prepare to build my second k2, my mind drifts back to the hours I spent with the little ceramic caps.

 They all had the bonding material over flowing the lead shoulders.  I spent hours cleaning that hardened material off the leads before soldering them in place.

The QUESTION:

Did I need to remove the extra material or should I just have dropped them in and made sure they got soldered properly?
