Well done thinks for that slideshow
Yep, same here. I avoid use of foams for cap rebuilds mostly because as the foam ages it breaks down. Once sealed inside, the new caps gradually give off gases very slowly that may attack the foam.

Also, didn't see this mentioned in the presentation, I prefer using new 105 deg C rated capacitors and not the cheap 85 deg C consumer stuff when doing the rebuild.
