Hi everyone,
About a month ago we had a discussion on this topic and

A couple of questions regarding hot-melt (glue sticks). Firstly, are
any of the plastic components of hot melt polar? And secondly, has
anybody tried using hot melt for potting components (i.e. immersing
say, a primary choke into a pool of hot melt)? If so, how well did it
work? I'm wondering whether this stuff's more versatile than I've
previously realized.
