Coating a Motherboard In Thermal Resin?

Posted by timothy on from the oh-did-you-want-to-use-it-afterwards-too? dept.

Bat Country writes "I've had an idea in the back of my head for some time (and I'm surely not the only one) that it would be a worthwhile project to coat a motherboard in thermally conductive electrically insulating resin — complete with all of its various components — for the purpose of immersion, shock resistance, whatever. I'm curious to find out if anyone's undertaken a similar project or if it's known to be a shockingly bad idea (due to shrinkage during the curing process) already. Thoughts?" If you've done anything similar (even an experiment that failed), how did you go about it?

    • Fry: Go after him, Leela!
    • [Leela pushes the throttle forward. The engines struggle.]
    • Leela: It's no use. We were going full speed when we fired him so he's going even faster than that.
    • Fry: You mean we can never catch up to him? Not even if we rub the engine with cheetah blood?
    • Leela: I don't know how to say this, Fry, but Bender is doomed to drift through space ... forever.
