I'm removing the tar off the relay board. I'm finding areas which look like a soldering iron touched and melted the plastic. I don't know if this was used to tack down some of the traces or something else. One area looks like someone laid down a soldering tip.
Was this normal or something else? Thanks, DaveB |

I considered that, but mine cleaned up really nice and I like the idea of using modern flame retardant circuit board epoxy (potting compound). This stuff will probably outlive me given the service temp is -40F to 347F. The engine bay heat won't even come close to pushing it's performance envelope.
