RE: [TCML] Depotting Epoxy NST

Phillip,
The best way to remove epoxy is with a 900 deg hot air gun, if done
properly it wont damage the components. The epoxy will start to flake
and turn into a white powder, this can be removed with a dental chisel.

I managed to do it with another transformer just now.  I had a broken
12/30 that I just chiseled the epoxy off of.  One of the secondary
coils was toasted, so that came apart when the epoxy was removed,
other than that it looks like with a lot more work I may have been
able to salvage the transformer.  As far as depotting my working
transformer, I don't suppose it'd be worth the risk.
