<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 8416619, member: 77639"]Typically plastics have a bigger coefficient of expansion than metals. That's why plastic electrical conduits often need expansion joints and metal conduits don't. So warming the stuck coin with a hair dryer on low heat might work. Capsule will expand more than the coin. Shouldn't need to say it but don't use high heat, heat gun, oven, propane torch, etc. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
