No, it's not necessary. The capacitors you have used are already encapsulated.

Hi Tweetybird,

I bought a leaky, non-working, army disposal BC 312 D in the year 1976 for a then equivalent price of $ 25.00.

I recapped it using Philips polyester caps and it sprang back to life.



It's still going strong!

Regards,

Nandu.

Hi Tweetybird,

I suppose you've used later versions like this.



Should be no problem as long as the value and voltage rating are the same.
