Goooooooood Evening everyone, Hope all are well.
I was wondering if there are many experienced potters here (not the stuff you smoke, or plant! ).
I want to potting a couple of circuit boards, to protect from humidity moisture, etc. The boards carry quite a few video signaling.
So I was wondering what would be the best stuff you use?
I was thinking of standard potting resin, and just adding a layer to each side of the board with a bead of silicone or something as a boundary for the liquid (similar to what they are doing on the second section of this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D35ui3Ab4hw). I was looking at this which seems a really good price - Conformal Coating EPCRYL 100 Acrylic
However, I have read the epoxy resins are prone to cracking if they are slightly flexed??
So I was then wondering about using RTV Neutral cure Silicone, but I wondering if these would be thin enough to spread easily over a reasonable size surface?
Any advice would be hugely grateful
Thanks
Russ
