It's a little more fluid than some of the other = options (which can be good or bad), does shrink quite a bit with curing, bu= t stays "chewy" and not prone to letting go.Used in a very high vibration e= nvironment, the caps are typically still hanging in there after 1000-1500hr= s of operation, vs used to have broken leads after 50-100hrs with no glue.
