Thanks. That was a *very* good idea. Well worth a test.

=C4mne: Re: Material to fill a box


Ake,

If conditions in the enclosure are appropriate, you might consider wax.
At a prior place of employment, we looked at several from Walnut Hill
Enterprises.  They manufacture mostly for the hobby candle making
industry but they have a chemist on staff who seemed willing to discuss
our needs with us.  They are in Bristol, PA.  We eventually went with
something else as the temperature rise in our enclosures was too high
for waxes to be suitable.
