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.

Subject: [Elecraft] New K2 build.
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?
