Man, I just finished unpotting my Allanson 12kV 60 mA NST.  My little 
Walmart special hotplate (buffet range, actually) took forever.  Of course, 
I was terrified of burning the tar, so I went slow at first.  I ended up 
having to cut away the case, and place the whole tar block on an aluminum 
sheet, and then I was cookin' away!  I managed to yank on the lead wire of 
one of the secondaries so I'll need to do some rework there, but it is too 
early in the morning for that (3:09 am! :) I'll get good at this someday.

Cheers!
