don't use Partylite candles. they have a low temp wax. Gets
soft in your hand. Not good.
Old parafin works great.
Thanks for listening, just my way of doing things.. I guess.

I wonder, would clear candle wax work well? It would tend to keep the moisture
out, and be stiff enough to hold the toroid in place, also be easily removable
with todays tools.
One drip would do. Or would that be drop?

Dow Corning make a range, 3140 is one I've used. It's very expensive
compared to the acetic acid bathroom sealant variety.

Sid,
There is a variant of RTV that is OK on circuit boards. It is made by MG
Chemicals specifically for electronics. It is catalog number 1035, and
comes
in 85ml tubes. We buy it from Allied (www.alliedelec.com), stock number
661
Let's get a list together of safe RTV products for electronics use.

I currently work for a military radio manufacturer and we vibrate

I used to work for a military radio manufacturer and I saw first hand what

it gave new meaning to the term "flying capacitor")! The K2 wasn't designed
