[Lab] goopy stuff on circuits

[Roman Gargulak]

Do not use a regular utility grde RTV for electronics, it out-gases and 
WILL cause corrosion.
There is an electronics grade RTV, GE makes few variants and so does Dow 
Corning.
Some of them are quite expensive, but there is cheap stuff as well (not 
as cheap as utility grade home depot stuff though).

Hot glue works well, unless your component gets very hot.
