Recapping a Cobra 135XLR, one of the 1000 uFd caps was leaking. On the main board are bodge parts held in place with some yellow glue or epoxy, which I'm assuming is factory by how clean the radio is otherwise. Of course, it's covering some leads I need to get at to finish the job.
If anyone else has dealt with this, can I just use a heat gun to warm the epoxy up and make it pliable enough to remove? Or is there another method that you've found that works better?
