Default Holt melt glue as potting agent ?

One problem, maybe....

The hardener for fiberglass resin is methyl ethyl keytone peroxide it
reacts with the cobalt in the resin.
I have no idea of what that would do on a circuit board. I do know however,
that fiberglass panels work well as insulators.
, Having built boats for 18 years , I have some large panels (cutouts from
building boats) that I use at the feed point, for (multi wire) parallel
dipoles.
FRP- fiberglass reinforced plastic ..makes a good insulator and it
extremely strong.

One other posibility , tho never tried it, is the
repair kit (fiberglass), for boat hulls, kind of
an epoxy resin, might also work, tho obviously
more expensive. Just a suggestion-- Jim NN7k

Hi Henry,

Thanks for that - I will see if it affects the signal / SWR if I
place it next to the aerial as well then.

Cheers
