can i use epoxy to cover my soldering?

[minnieman]

can i? i really dont want to mess up my progress if i cant...

[hailrazer]

Some epoxies are conductive, some aren't. depends what you use.

[minnieman]

is there anyway to tell if its conductive? i am using the epoxy for plastic (planning on using it on a case i am building ).

[hailrazer]

If it is conductive a continuity test with your multimeter would tell.

I would use hotglue. It is easier to remove if you need to redo something.

[minnieman]

k, thanks guys. are you sure hot glue wont short anything out? i have heard its slightly conductive.

[hailrazer]

If hot glue shorted things out then ShockSlayer would be dead by now.

Inside joke.

But no hot glue won't short anything out.

Oh, SS. Anyone remember that car battery wii portable?

[OMGpedobear]

it was wonderfully ugly .

I second that, hot glue is great for covering pcbs and solder joints, also FANTASTIC for stopping you knocking of surface mount components, this trick has saved my wii motherboard many a time.

Didn't it say on it "portable no more" or something?
