I poured melted wax in one and heated it a bit to melt it together, that worked 
for me.

Subject: [TCML] suggestions for nst cracks in potting

   Have a couple of nsts12/60 and 15/60. Opened the top and there are fissiors 
and cracks in tar. Probably due to the tar drying out over time and shrinking.  
these cracks seem to be an easy path for arcing across windings internaly. Read 
Barts and others experience about repotting, etc.  Im interested in getting the 
most life out of them as they don't grow on trees!$!  Heating them up in a rod 
oven seems like the simplest .  Any more suggestions would be appreciated.
  PS
 Have built nice t-filter for the 15k that will be used on new TC.
                                                                         Thanks, 
Bob
