I've used the vinyl hot-glue without any problems. But I think the dams you made are a good idea. I worry about the heat of the glue damaging the capacitors. I think polyester film caps are o.k., but polystyrene or polypropylene might melt. I think the hot-glue melts at a higher temperature than the wax.

Thanks. Yes, it's a water slide decal using the 'Century Gothic' font.

Hmm, I never considered the heat issue. I was more concerned about the leakage and voltage breakdown of the glue. Perhaps it merits a little experimenting

I've been following this thread from the first post, you must have the 'patience of a saint' in doing all this and your eye for detail is pretty impressive, those new old caps would fool me if I didn't know they were replicas!
