Examples that have not leaked have taken about a week to reform. The voltage rises for a few hours and then drops to a value where it remains for several days before finally rising to 300V with a leakage of 100ua or less over the final 8 to 12 hours. I have eight of them all reformed and in there original amplifiers providing good service.
Yes that is right I do know what I am aiming for.
At the moment it id down to thermal cycling in order to get the distilled water all the way down into the roll of foil before I can assess the currant it is taking fully.
