It's acid cure that should be avoided in an electronic context. One good use of hot-melt is as a short term tacking agent while silicone rubber sets. I was involved in a product where we did just that. The hot melt set usefully in under a minute and the silicone rubber utterly reliably in about a day. ______________________ Gate driver: That was why you need a gate driver when you need one. That's any time you want switching rates more than a kiloHertz or few. As a driver that meets many needs consists of solely two jellybean transistors, the overhead and design effort are minimal.
