Potted flashlight

At hackaday someone mentions using 3M ScotchCast successfully in the context underwater robotics up to depths of 5000 meters. Perhaps this could be also be useful for encapsulating flashlight drivers.

I also found an interesting theoretical reference:
Goosey, M. 1999. Plastics for Electronics (2nd edition).
DOI 10.1007/978-94-017-2700-6. It is also available on Library Genesis.
Especially Chapter 6. “Materials for advanced encapsulation” seems interesting.

I use MG Chemicals thermal potting Thermal Epoxy Used Stycast too, when the company buys it…

Thanks for sharing. Looks really interesting:

834HTC potting and encapsulating compound is a black, flame retardant, thermally conductive two-part epoxy that offers extreme environmental, mechanical and physical protection for printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies.
834HTC is designed for applications where thermal management and self-extinguishing are critical. It also provides excellent electrical insulation and protects components from static discharges, vibration, abrasion, thermal shock, environmental humidity, salt water, fungus, and many harsh chemicals.
834HTC can be cured at room temperature or higher.
