We were wondering that rubber plug was for.

You're Welcome!

If you have a large Capacitor that you do not care about and are looking for a little fun.
Take the Cap and a Battery outside at least 10 feet from the house and attach the Cap to the power source with the polarity backward.
In a few minutes, (Not more than 15) the end cap will split or the plug will pop out and you will have a few seconds of a smoking smelly Tar-like Volcano.

The person in this video is extremely over-voltaging the capacitors, so they do not last more than a few seconds.
A 25v Cap with 12v connected in reverse will take longer and pop with less drama and more smoke.
