I was of course, joking. But, while we're there. There would not be a
problem with repairing the device. You just pull the stuff out and leave it
to do, what ever 'n' hell it does, in an icecream container or something.
Or just lift the lid and let it drain out if you have the time. When the
thing is fixed then you just gloop it back on top of the cavity and let it
kinda _drain_ back in.

A power amp may have a heat problem of course. But if you were to design
your PA for the purpose I'm sure you could minimize weight as well. And of
course the less slily putty you use, the more cost effective it becomes.

And as one of my slated projects this year is to redesign my PA... :)

Be absolutely icebox.
