tants are not the go to end all... they do go bad you know...

Caps are a wear item, I would like to come up with a solution that would make the caps easily replaceable...

or easily removable for long term storage,

Yes, tants don't leak, but they can catch fire.

and the new polymer solid caps, they are nice, but again still have a life, and still will go bad, and will have to be de-soldered at one point,

every time you mess with those pads you are taken risk.

So my idea is to make a solution that that allows a user option to replace/remove these things.

that way you will never worry about damage to the PCB, till the end of time.
