Hi Harold,

It is just a fleck of the solder like material (sloopage, or some odd name 
they have for it??) they use to put on the end caps.  The inside of the cap 
is perfectly clean.

They just wrap the white outer layer tape last and dirt gets under just 
that layer.  This outside contamination, while a bit messy, does no harm at 
all.  The important inner wraps are clean as can be.

Thanks for sending the cap ;-))

Cheers,

	Terry
