my question sort of morphed into a new thread
What are alternatives to using Potting compound?
I'm building a cheap project (under $10),- the electrical part will be stored in a piece of pvc pipe which will have to absorb impact from being thrown when the project is used, say consistently being thrown across your lawn.
The electrical part of the project consists of a 556 timer and the resistors, capacitors that go along with it.
I need some way to fasten the electrical components down and protect them from breaking and against wear and tear on joints...
Potting compound seems expensive to use...
I want to know the best way to achieve this at the minimal cost or just using household items, i.e. glue, tape, foam
Suggestions?
