We use cold setting thermally conductive semi-flexible potting compounds for
commercial products, but I really prefer that spray foam insulation called
"Great Stuff" for my own stuff.
As a matter of fact, I usually don't even enclose the circuit boards. I just
Krylon spray them, then shoot em with Great Stuff. That way I can repair
stuff later if necessary.
