As the title says, I want to take off the caps, but I can’t get them off. Do you guys have any tips? I got one of them off, but put it back on, because the other one was still on. :o Help, please? ---

Put scotch or masking tape on the caps and then just pull them off 🙂 ---

There was a hot glue method I posted a while ago. Let me go and find it. _EDIT_ Found it. It is an alternative to the packing tape route, which can take paint off of caps. > [@](#): > > This has a lower risk of taking the paint off of caps. > > Put a small amount of hot glue in the center of the cap, put it in the freezer and wait 5 min. Then use pliers and pull the glob of hot glue. Use your nails or pliers to get off the remaining glue. ---
