paper caps fall to bits generally and generally just crush- I’ve had to de-solder a couple and replace them with solid state caps instead. 😥
Wire wound resistors seem to be quite resilient under diala (NASTY!).
Potting in scotchcast works quite well (wear gloves and goggles-equally friggin nasty); I used to bury camera boards in the stuff and I’ve not had any real problems, although I think as the stuff cures, you get a bit of heat generation and this is sometimes a negative effect on circuits performance – I don’t know why – maybe it shifts and strains components or maybe it heats locally beyond the temp limits of the chips (normally around 85 deg for non mil stuff I think) – (I think it’s supposed to have a low co-eff of thermal expansion though so not sure if it possibly moves components).
How big are your electronics – I got a couple of housings lying around on the shelf that I might be able to chuck your way. I’m in denmark till the 28th so you’d have to wait…..
