I'm assuming you mean the epoxy that the cap is dipped in. I've never removed it; I'm not sure but I think doing so may damage the sealing quality of the epoxy.

As I prepare to build my second k2, my mind drifts back to the hours I spent with the little ceramic caps. They all had the bonding material over flowing the lead shoulders. I spent hours cleaning that hardened material off the leads before soldering them in place. The QUESTION: Did I need to remove the extra material or should I just have dropped them in and made sure they got soldered properly?
