potting - hot melt gule and two part epoxy
Some "pro" potting compounds are 2-part RTV rubber. This presumably has
a bit more "give" than a rigid epoxy & is less likely to rip parts off a
board.
Kenwood used something like that in the TS440SAT transceiver, on the VCO
if I recall correctly. Seems the stuff would sometimes corrode some of
the circuitry after several years.
