A process of making a capacitor element for a solid electrolytic capacitor is provided which comprises the steps of preparing at least one capacitor piece which includes a chip of a sintered mass of metal powder and an anode wire projecting from the chip, forming a dielectric layer on the chip, forming a solid electrolyte layer on the chip, forming a metal layer on the chip, and cutting the metal wire at a position spaced from the chip. A water-repellent member is fitted on the anode wire and located close to the chip at least up to finishing the step of forming the solid electrolyte layer. Further, the water-repellent member is shifted along the anode wire away from the chip at least before cutting the anode wire, whereas the anode wire is cut at a position between the chip and the shifted water-repellent member.
