<div dir="ltr">We use a thermal potting compound to encapsulate military modules. The silicone is not type one<div>( acetic acid ) and has minimal odor.

<br>
just wondering if anybody thinks it's worth encasing an exponential pair<br>
for stability. while this is in my modular case, there must be some heat<br>
currents moving around from the other stuff that share the same space.<br>
<br>
Maybe a dab of hot-glue-gun (hot snot), or a silicone or something?<br>
<br>
I'd hate for it to bite me in the arse in the future, maybe corroding<br>
the copper traces or the tin legs or becoming impossible to remove. What<br>
do the pros use?<br>
