In Reply to: RC Filter Progress To Date posted by Maxamillion on May 8, 2010 at 09:19:11:
I ran across something called GelWax (made by Yaley) today in a crafts store, and it might just be perfect for potting the RC filters. It is actually mineral oil which is gelled with the addition of a polymer - the grade I bought has the consistency and resilience of firm gelatin ( but is stronger), yet it melts easily on a stovetop and can be poured into a mold. I can press my finger about 1" deep into it without it breaking apart, and when I release the pressure it springs back to its original form; it is also non-conductive and clear. Apparently it is used to make candles containing inclusions like glitter, etc. I'm thinking it might be perfect for this application as it will absorb vibrations, is non-conductive and can be removed for later tweaking (as opposed to epoxy!).Once I give it a try I'll share the results.
