July or tell the truth?
 
Found some good shit at home depot, liquid electric tape. Endorsed by rsanio and raja :thumbsup: its 5 bucks a bottle and covers a complete board front and back twice plus a bit extra.

I think soups used to do the same thing awhile back.... does it bubble under extended bench sessions? or does it hold up pretty well?


also around smaller components do bits stick there or not really?

I have the same fears. Is it like the Dragon Skin or harder? It looks hard.

under cold I would say no... I have run VRM on many board without cooling at all when working on DEV classified board.

but when overclocking you are at subzero temp which will cool the covered VRM components just by the close relation to the frozen CPU/container.

Definitely do not run under stress with standard cooling for extended periods.

they dont even get hot on air cooling ;)

its thicker stuff, I do two layers. its not like jelly like dragon skin. Its more adhesive and it feels more like a very tightly stretch ballon skin. you have to be careful to cover all the areas but with bright red it makes it a tad easier ;)

A couple layers of towel will go between this and the to stop any pooling but other than that, its ready to rock.

I wonder if this is the same. I might try it fro the hell of it. Spraying it on would be sweet.

Yeah, I started the liquid electric tape craze way back, it'll peel off in chunks only if you cake it on, slight risk on pulling weak resistors off the board with it. I've used red, black, white with minimal difference in consistency cept that the white seemed more watery.

I also have a cannister of the plastic dip which was gonna be used to coat my gpu pots and the F1, never got around to doing that.

All in all great goop. I did have a tinsy bit of trouble picking out the tiny pieces that didnt peel off.
