How To

Here’s another way to restuff those twist lock can caps.

Can also be applied to multi-caps cans. I’ve used that method many years ago and never transfer the how-to page from my first website version over 6 years ago…

The big difference lies in the way to reseal the top. Since even new electros have a definite life, if one needs to re-open the can, this way much simplifies the task.

First step, get yourself a glass of orange juice…

When done, cut out the plastic spout and cap:

Cut the electro using a sharp Olfa Blade. Rock the cap under the blade while giving slight pressure. Once the blade cuts through a small portion, roll the cap until completely done. It will make a perfect sharp cut every time if you go slow and do not put too much pressure as to dent the aluminum can.

Glue the spout to the top of the electro:

The cap will be glued inside the can cap. In the picture I cut the cap to seee through but it is not needed. Use a hot glue gun to attach both spout and plastic cap to can capacitor.

There you go…Seamless and restuffable in 10 seconds…
