In Reply to: The fallacy of "reforming" capacitors posted by Sherwood Forest on December 21, 2015 at 14:00:31:
Not all caps can be successfully reformed - but don't assume that means caps can't be reformed. It is a legitimate process when applied properly and can improve capacitor performance a good deal. But it cannot save a capacitor that is too far gone, which appears to be the case with the one pictured in the original post.
Below is a link to a brief but accurate "how to" on reforming electrolytic caps. There are MANY more, including posts on OEM websites such as Panasonic, etc.
It has to be done right, and its limitations have to be understood - but reforming is a perfectly legitimate process.
